Dear people of the Great State of West Virginia:
Hello! I am a third-grade student in Northern Virginia. Our class is learning about the United States, and I will be teaching our school about the state of West Virginia. In May, I will create a display for our State Fair that I hope will make you proud.
Although I have gathered facts about your state from books and websites, I think I can receive the best information from the people who live there. This is why I am writing you. I am hoping that you would be willing to send me some items to help me learn more about the best things in your state. You might consider sending items such as postcards, pictures, souvenirs, this newspaper letter, or any other unique items that would be useful to show your state's pride.
Here are a few questions:
– Why do you live in West Virginia? What first brought your family there?
– What is your occupation?
– What does your state look like?
– What do you do for fun?
– What animals live in West Virginia?
– What traditional food or recipes does your state have?
– What type of music is native to your state?
– Do you have a state athletic team?
– What geographic features are unique to your state?
– I need to gather all of my information by the second week of May. You can mail items to the address below.
I really appreciate your help.
