"Dear Reader" Letters

The purpose of your "Dear Reader" letter is to:
--thank your audience IN ADVANCE for reading
--introduce your topic of research & tell what you already knew (or thought you knew)... K
--tell WHY you decided to research that topic-- what did you want to know?  W
-- tell WHAT you ended up learning during the research process… L

You should also mention your REPETEND (Golden Thread) as it is WOVEN through your project and ties it all together in a NEAT and COHESIVE way…. 

Be yourself.  Have fun.  Entice your reader.

Welcome Spring!
