To direct my students in the Letter to [Author] Mitch Albom activity, I created an assignment sheet and a rubric, grading them on their ability to connect the text to their personal lives [narrative writing], use correct letter-writing format, content, and conventions/grammar.
Both of those documents can be viewed and downloaded by clicking here: Letter to Mitch Assignment & Rubric
