After watching the documentary of your choice, you are going to write a letter to either one of the characters in the documentary or a person or an organisation that is in any way related to the subject the documentary deals with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: when filling in the table of contents with the details on your assignment, please use the “further information” box to explain to whom you are writing a letter and explain why. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/span><\/strong> – recipient<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide on a person to write your letter to, your recipient; you might want to choose a person from your documentary (for example a famous person about whom you have seen a documentary) or a person that is in some way related to the subject of your documentary (for example PM Boris Johnson after seeing a documentary on Brexit, or WWF after seeing a documentary on the effects of plastic waste on sea animals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/span><\/strong> – outline<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide on a message to get across in your letter; you might want to express your admiration to a famous person, or you might want to express your opinion on a certain matter, you might even want to ask a question. Also write down about 4 to 6 statements\/arguments you want to use. Use a piece of paper or some digital document to take some notes. Divide your statements\/arguments\/questions into two groups, which will form the base of the two paragraphs you are going to write in the core of your letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/span><\/strong> – introduction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After finishing your outline, you are going to actually start writing. Start by writing an introduction. Introduce yourself and tell your recipient why you are writing them a letter. Use 4 to 6 sentences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4 <\/span><\/strong>– body<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the groups of statements\/arguments\/questions you drew up in step 2; each group will form the base of a paragraph in the body of your letter. Write clear paragraphs of about 10 sentences, using the information you prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5<\/span><\/strong> – ending<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write a closing paragraph of about 4 to 6 sentences. Summarize your main message, express any expectations you might have and if you’d like to, express some wishes to your reader. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6<\/strong><\/span> – lay out & conventions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your letter’s lay out is exactly how it would be expected of you. Use the guidelines to formal letter writing All Right provides in their course book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also make sure you use the correct conventions (salutation, greeting et cetera).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
