If you are dissatisfied with the grade you received on the original Letter assignment, here's your chance. Please look at the comments that I left on your letter, look at your rubric score, and rewrite the letter.  Simply duplicate / add a tab, and revise your letter.  I have included an exemplar version of my original letter which has all five parts of a friendly letter:

Heading (includes date written)
Greetings
Body
Salutation
Signature
A letter that does not have all five parts will not receive all points for the letter category in the rubric.

If you're content with your original grade, resubmit as is, and the score will carry over.  If you rewrite it, the new grade will replace the old one.

Use meaningful dialogue AND vivid description to write about a moment that you remember vividly between you and someone from your childhood who was encouraging (family member, teacher, friend… Maybe someone who was like Rahim Khan or Hassan to you) 
OR
Write about something in your childhood that you regret doing. (The situation does not have to be as unforgivable as what Amir has done to Hassan.)  
You can exaggerate the story, if necessary, but try to base your response on a real experience.  Include as much descriptive detail, dialogue, and figurative language as possible to paint a picture of the characters, setting, and conflict for the reader.  Use The Kite Runner as a model.

Remember this?
