Formatting and Alignment

To make your documents and letters look more professional you need to use features and tools such as line spacing, indenting, and change alignment.

To help you learn to use these features you will write a letter to someone famous you would like to have a conversation with. Write the letter as if they are going to be your new pen pal. Introduce yourself and tell them a little about you. In your second paragraph you need to let them know why you have chosen to write to them.

You will start with a BLANK document.

As part of writing your letter you will need to have:

Sender and Recipient addresses aligned left with single spacing

Sender Address:

Your Name

Swallows Charter Academy

278 S McCulloch Blvd.

Pueblo West, CO 81007

Recipient- Google your famous person to see if there is an address

Recipient Name

Address

Date Aligned right single spaced

Greeting- aligned left double spaced

Body of your letter- aligned left with a single indent at the start of each paragraph (you need 2 paragraphs) double spaced

Closing- aligned right double spaced

This needs to be saved to Dropbox as: Pen Pal Letter Your Name
