Letter to Scrooge



With Act 1 complete, we have a pretty good idea of who Scrooge is. This week let's see how creative you can get! 
Write a letter to Scrooge. 


Your letter should be roughly 4 paragraphs. 

  1. State your main point: Scrooge is missing out in life by being cranky and negative with the people around him.
  2. State a specific thing that Scrooge is missing out on. To support your point, include a detail from the play or from your experience.
  3. State another specific thing that Scrooge is missing out on. To support your point, include a detail from the play or from your experience.
  4. Conclude with a summary or a request that Scrooge change his behavior.
DO NOT FORGET YOUR SALUTATION AND CLOSING SIGNATURE.


POST YOUR LETTER AS A COMMENT TO THIS POST. 
Be sure to proofread!
Your letter is due no later than Friday at 5pm!
