Directions: Write a letter according to the instructions below.
Wouldn't it be fun, just for a little while, to believe in Santa Claus once again? But instead of seeing Santa Claus through the eyes of a five-year-old, try to see him as you are right now. Suspend your imagination and believe. Tell yourself that Santa Claus is real and will consider your requests.
Write your letter to Santa using the persuasive writing style. Telling Santa why you want something (whether for yourself or for others) will improve your chances of receiving your request.
What are your priorities? What means more to you than anything else? If Santa could really provide anything you request, what would you honestly ask for? In other words, this assignment may turn out to be far more serious than you might at first glance think it is. Exactly what are your priorities, your values?
This paper may require a great deal of soul-searching and self-evaluation. Your letter should be at least 100 but not more than 125 words. Be certain to use correct capitalization, punctuation, and paragraph form in your letter.
