To the editor:

I am writing to you as part of a class project for the novel, “The Watsons Go to Birmingham.” My classmates and I are contacting newspapers across the country in a state we chose to learn more about.

I wanted to learn about Rhode Island because I always think of it as such a small state, and I wanted to know what fun things I could do if I were there. I also wanted to know more about Rhode Island and all the cool animals that you might find there.

I am writing to ask your readers to please write back and tell me why they like Rhode Island, interesting facts about the state and what visitors can do there. They can write to my school’s address: Queen of Peace Catholic School, 4508 Vistula Road, Mishawaka, IN 46544. If they could also include a copy of the newspaper where they saw my letter, I’d greatly appreciate it. 

If you have any questions, please contact my teacher’s e-mail at aweisser@queenofpeace.cc or you may contact her by phone at 574-255-0392, ext. 123.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
