Letter to the Editor Criteria: Freshmen English 2011-2012

As you know from the handout I gave you, you need to write a letter to the editor of The Salt Lake Tribune every quarter. Honors students must write two letters each quarter. In order to get full credit, you must adhere to the following criteria. If any elements are missing, you will only earn up to half credit. In order to earn up to full credit you must do the following:
1. Meet The Trib's requirements (see their website).
2. Include a phone number on your letter where The Trib can reach you.
3. Place your letter in a stamped, addressed, and unsealed envelope.
4. Submit a letter that is typed and in good condition.
And remember, if you get published, you get 25 points extra credit. If you are letter of the week, you get 50 points extra. It's your job to watch the paper and inform me when this happens. Best of luck.
