EN405 Class
In today's class we:
- Went through personal request letters that were written as homework for the last class
- Talked about love letters and what makes a good one
- Did a love letter writing task where we focused on writing heart-felt emotional language using feelings, original metaphors, avoiding cliches and being creative and thoughtful
- Read some of the best examples
- Did quiz 2
- Remember that there is no class on Wednesday 23rd (It will be on Friday 25th instead).
- I mentioned Orwell's rules of writing:

These do not have to be strictly followed, but I think some of the key rules can be well applied to letter writing
