* Your best friend and your grandmother (or another adult family member) want to know what you thought of the movie (or television show) that you saw last weekend. Both are considering going to see the show (or watching a rerun of it) tonight, and they want to know if you recommend it for them and why.
* You missed class yesterday because of a field trip or sporting event at another school. Now you need to find out what you missed. Write to a friend from the class and to your teacher to find out what happened and what you need to do to catch up.
* You’re looking for a reference book to help you with a paper or a project that you’re working on. A friend had a great book that might help, but you’re not sure if it covers the topic you’re studying. You need to find out two things: whether the friend’s book will help, and if there are any other resources that you might look at as you work on your paper. Write a message to your friend and the school librarian asking for suggestions. Be sure to explain what you’re researching so that your readers will know what books to suggest.
