Dear Jane . . .

Today we experimented with using Holden's voice. We looked at the notes we collected: what words he uses, what sentences he uses, what tone he uses. Then we used Holden's voice to express the following three expressions.

1. School sucks, man.
2. That guy is mad annoying.
3. I wish I could see Jane again.

After this practice, we began writing out letters to Jane. Here's my suggestion for writing the letters.


March 16, 2009
Dear Jane,
Use the first paragraph to remind Jane how you as Holden know her and what you used to do.
Remember when . . . .
OR
The last time we saw each other . . .

Use the second paragraph to tell Jane how you feel about her NOW.

Sincerely,
Holden
