Genre number 3

Here's what I'm thinking about for genre number 3.

A Letter to a Parent

Voice: Teacher

Audience: Parent of an ESL student

Rationale: This letter will be from a teacher to a parent of an ESL student who is struggling with reading his textbooks. The teacher will give the parent several ideas that might help the student comprehend the information better while he reads. I think that this will be a good way to present some of the strategies that ELLs use when reading material that might be difficult to comprehend based on their cultural knowledge.
