Cathy,
I loved your demo. You have such a sweet, calming voice that "lulled" us into being a captive audience. I feel that this lesson is extremely valuable and would be very useful in the classroom. Letter writing is a skill that I personally feel has been abandoned with use of the blogs, comment boxes, and the overall use of technology. Students today do not realize the impact of their "word choice" when it is put in print. Dialogue is a difficult concept to teach and appropriateness of the format needs to be taught so that they convey what needs to be told. I feel that you also bring your "heart" into teaching when you shared the story of Julie and the inappropriateness that her boss used when dismissing her from her job. I really appreciate your sensitivity and compassion when you shared. You definitely "care" about your students.
