It's brilliant, brilliant I tell you. Genus I say! I loved the chain letter idea and all the fun that was. I also enjoyed writing the bad news letter and the struggle my group had keeping it serious. I'll use this in my class, several times I would imagine. Clearly, you are serious about your student's competence, and their feelings as well. I like the connections you made to real life and bringing in Julie's letter shows that this is a serious issue that can effect anyone. I also like the fact that students are experiencing this from both sides of the letter. A very powerful lesson. Thanks for teaching it. Chris
