Class Letters: Instilling Intangible Lessons through Letters

By Claire Chilton Lopez

In Class Letters, we meet Anne English, single mom and high school English teacher (yes, she enjoys the irony). She loves the students she teaches, and hopes to not only educate them, but to prepare them for life after high school.

In an attempt to connect with her senior English class on a deeper, more personal level, Anne begins to write them monthly letters, addressing intangibles such as honesty, gratitude, and love. To her surprise and delight, her students reply with heartfelt responses, sharing many of their personal challenges and successes.

Class Letters follows Anne and her students through one full school year—revealing their many ups and downs, and showing how authentic, lasting connections can be made through the exchange of letters.
