Teach students the importance of identifying the audience

WRITING: SECTION 8 - Write correspondence (All levels)

Tell your students that all correspondence is a form of communication that has a ‘reader’ (known or unknown). Instruct them to look closely at the task and underline the words that tell them what they are writing, and who they are writing to. 

In addition to providing information about the form of the writing, this will also help them to identify the level of formality that is required.
