First graders engage in this interesting instructional activity on letter writing and writing skills. In it, youngsters listen to the Jan Brett story, The Mitten, as a warm-up. They think of other animals of the world they could ask Jan Brett to include in her stories, and write her a letter asking her to do so. Additionally, learners get to experience basic email skills by typing up an email version of their letter and sending it to Jan Brett on her website.
