Day 5 Handout #3: ​Writing an Open Letter to a Source
Your task is to write a letter to a source of your choice. Be sure to look back at your rubric to
understand your expectations. You have three goals to accomplish in this letter:
1. Compose a claim by answering our main question: and explaining your answer.
2. Choose one source that supports this claim (you should mention the main idea of this
source here)
3. Use at least​ three ​pieces of evidence from the source to support your claims. Be sure to
examine and explain this evidence (suggestion: look back at the ​“Evidence Based Claim
Example” Handout for this step)
4. Make your letter convincing by using the vocabulary we have learned throughout the
week. The letter should show your understanding of the claim and it’s evidence while
also adding your own creative voice and opinion.
