PERSONAL LETTER
- A personal letter is a kind of letter in which one person writes to another person,
typically a friend or member of their family. Personal letters are written to close friends or family
members to convey information, events, emotions, and thoughts. They are usually handwritten
or typed and are more informal than business or official letters.
2. Address: The writer's address is usually written in the upper right-hand corner of the
letter, followed by the date. The recipient's address is usually written below the date, on
the left-hand side of the letter.
3. Salutation: A greeting that addresses the recipient. The salutation can be formal or
informal, depending on the relationship between the writer and the recipient. For
example, "Dear John" is a more formal salutation, while "Hi Sarah" is more informal.
4. Body: The main content of the letter, where the writer shares news, stories, feelings, and
ideas. The body can be organized into paragraphs and should be easy to read and
understand.
5. Closing: A farewell that expresses goodwill or a friendly sentiment. The closing can be
formal or informal, depending on the relationship between the writer and the recipient.
Examples of closings include "Sincerely", "Love", "Yours truly", "Best regards", etc.
6. Signature: The writer's signature, usually followed by their name. The signature is
usually written below the closing, on the right-hand side of the letter.
Personal letters can be used for a variety of purposes, such as catching up with a friend,
expressing gratitude or appreciation, sharing news about a special event or milestone, or simply
staying stay in touch. They are an excellent way to connect with people on a more personal
level and to maintain relationships.
Depending on the kind of personal letter being written, these elements may differ slightly, but
they often follow this basic structure. The tone and language chosen should take into account
that personal letters tend to be less professional than formal letters.
D. Generalization
The teacher will ask the students to write the things they learned about personal letters;
the teacher will call at least 3 students to share what they have written with the class.
E. Application
The class will be instructed by the teacher to write a letter to the person they value the most or
the person they are most thankful for. The letter will be evaluated using the provided rubric.
NOTE: After it has been rated, the letter will be returned to the students.
Assignment (optional)
A. Reinforcement
The teacher will ask the students to write a letter to someone they want to become friends with
or someone they want to meet (fictional characters are allowed) and prepare to share it to the
class if called on the next meeting.
