Dear Mr. Dumpy

Michael has had some really interesting literacy-based homework assignments.  His first one was to write a letter from one fairy tale character to another.  After a bit of thought, here's what he came up with:

1 Palace Lane
King City
KI22 1NG

Dear Mr. Dumpty,
I am sorry we did not come soon enough when you had your fall.  You are offered insurance money.  We are giving you a new shell.  The insurance money is £90.

Sincerely, 
The King

I really liked this letter, as did his teacher.  I like the level of creativity and out of the box thinking required of their work.

His next literacy assignment was to design an ad for World War II, to persuade people to help in some way with the war effort.  I was eager to completely take over this assignment (I teach advertising to college students, after all), but it turns out that Michael's teacher gave them some great direction in terms of what ads of the time looked like and Michael himself had some great ideas.  He belted out a rhyming slogan and even started marching to it at home.
