Groups 201-204 Homework: Letter to Johan

Jean Le Tavernier, portrait of Jean Miélot, adapted; source.

You have received the following letter from your pen friend Johan, who writes:

Some of my students prefer writing essays, because they have more freedom to write what they want. Others prefer writing letters, because they are shorter and the expectations are often clearer. Which kind of homework do you prefer—essays or letters? Why? How long does the assignment take to complete?

I’m writing a paper for an educational conference in October. Teachers have homework, too!

In 100-140 words (twenty minutes), reply to Johan’s letter. Answer his three questions, and ask three questions about his paper or the conference in October. Remember the rules of letter-writing.

Please bring your letter to class next week.
