The Miracle Worker Write a business letter (Page numbers are based on McDougall-Littell _Literature and Language_, 1994) ================================================================= On pages 638-641 in your textbook, Kate and Captain Keller discuss writing to Dr. Chisholm in Baltimore to get some help with Helen. On page 642, Mr. Anagnos tells us at the top of the page that Dr. Chisholm couldn't help Helen, but that Dr. Bell suggested that Helen needed a teacher. That is how Annie got the job with the Kellers. ("Dr. Bell" is Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, who invented the telephone while looking for a way to help deaf and hearing-impaired people.) Your assignment: write the business letter Captain Keller would have sent to Mr. Anagnos at the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Boston, asking him to help find a teacher for Helen. Describe Helen, explain what duties would be required, and offer a salary. (Can you find Annie's salary mentioned on page 643?) 1. Use correct business letter format. You can find that on p. 891-92 in your literature book. 2. Use correct spelling. 3. Use correct capitalization. 4. Use correct punctuation. 5. Use correct grammar. 6. Include all necessary information. 7. Make sure that what you say is accurate and plausible within the context of the play. (The Kellers lived before rural street addresses. For an address, use "Ivy Green, Tuscumbia, Alabama." The date would be in the spring of 1887.) 8. Check your final version for neatness. (This includes using blue or black ink on unlined white paper or typing the final version.) Your business letter must be handed in by ____________________.
