Thank You, Sir

Write a Thank you Letter to a founding Father. People to Choose from: George Washington, Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, or a Patriot Soldier. Use the PowerPoint on the right to help you think about what to Thank these people for. You are writing the letter to the person as if they are actually going to receive it. Your first paragraph should tell them about yourself. The second and third paragraphs should be used to thank them for what they did. In these paragraphs, besides thanking them for what they did, state what they did that was so important. Tell them why you are thankful, explain to them why you are thankful for the significant things they did. Explain to them how much what they did meant to you and to America. Perhpas you have a question for the person you selected, well ask 'em then! You will not get a response, obviously, but it will give the readers of the Brandon Valley Challenger something to think about. Perhaps you would like to include one of their famous quotes and explain why you like that quote/how you feel. Do a good job. Try hard. Do the best you can. Make it a meaningful assignment. Actually pretend that you are writing to this peson for real and you will actually experience the feeling of thankfulness for real. Trust me.
