TitlePen Pal Letter Templates
Body
Editor's note: A recent request for pen pal letter templates generated the
following suggestions. Both are for French teachers, but the first link will
download a Word document which could easily be modified for any language.

After reading your message, I posted a letter writing frame for French on my
website at:
http://www.specialeducationalneeds.com/mfl/French_Writing_Frame.doc

I wrote this template when preparing 11-to-12-year-olds for their French exam
at the end of their first year of learning the language.

I have been using a packet that I purchased from Carlex called "R.S.V.P. Une
unite fun et facile pour correspondre". It is useful because the students can
use it as a guideline when writing to their pen pals. Many of my high school
students are not used to writing letters and this helps guide them. The
authors of "R.S.V.P." are Jane Lapko and Niki Silvaroni. The unit is in French.
It starts with an introductory letter and then moves on to topics such as family,
hobbies, interests, etc.
