Research various candy companies' addresses on the internet. Lesson Directions. Day 1. Step 1: Before the beginning of class, place a candy bar at each student's desk. When students settle in, tell them that they will begin today's lesson by enjoying their candy bar! Give students time to eat. When they finish, ask them what they liked or disliked about the candy. Is there anything they would change to make it even better? More appetizing? More appealing? Generate a brief discussion about their opinions. Step 2: Share with students that today they will be writing their own persuasive business letter, asking the president of a candy company to change the candy bar they just ate to make it even more enjoyable! Display the Letter to the Mars Candy Corporation from Letters From a Nut for students to view. Distribute copies to the students and ask them to follow along as you read the letter aloud to them. Step 3: Distribute the Letter to the Mars Candy Company Exercise Worksheet and display it for student viewing. Review the sheet with students, explaining that this exercise will serve as a prewriting activity for their persuasive business letter. They'll use this to brainstorm ideas for a persuasive argument about how the candy bar company could change the candy bar for the better. Allow time for students to brainstorm and complete the exercise. Day 2. Step 4: Begin this day by sharing the Persuasive Letter Checklist printable with students. Distribute copies to the class. Project the checklist and review each list item with the class. Tell them that this is the required information for their persuasive business letter to the president of the candy company. Instruct them to refer to it as they write their letter and during the peer review. Step 5: Instruct students to transfer their brainstorming ideas to a rough draft of a persuasive letter, using the Persuasive Letter Checklist, the Business Letter Editing Exercise Worksheet from Lesson Two, the Letter to the Mars Candy Company, and the Letter to the Mars Candy Company Exercise Worksheet as references. Allow time for students to complete their rough drafts. Share the appropriate addresses so that students can complete the letter headings. Day 3. Step 6: Begin this day by having each student choose a partner for peer review. Ask each to read the other's letter, checking for correct grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Students should use the Persuasive Letter Checklist and Editing Marks Chart to review their partner's letter. Allow time for students to make revisions. Step 7: After students edit and revise their letters, hand out the Persuasive Letter Writing Rubric printable and review with the class. Instruct students to write a final draft of their letter. If you wish, you may send in the letters to see if students will receive a response! Make copies of each letter before doing so. Supporting All Learners. Allow students who may be having difficulty writing on their own to share their changes with you verbally. Review: What would a theater critic write to the creator of ‘Letters From a Nut’? Well, let’s start with . Congratulations on the success of your series of “Letters From a Nut” books. I have to admit I never heard of them until I received an invitation to attend your show at the Geffen Playhouse, but then the last humor book I read was Erma Bombeck’s “The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank” in the seventh grade! I love to laugh, don’t get me wrong. But I don’t think I’d enjoy spending all that time reading the voluminous correspondence of an eccentric crank whose mission is to get customer service agents to whiff at complaining curve balls. One or two letters would be plenty for me. I see that Jerry Seinfeld, your old boss, not only was an early champion of your books but also went on to produce this theatrical presentation. I hope you will keep your good fortune in mind when I say to you, with all due respect, the show is not very good. And by “not very good” I’m avoiding saying something much harsher. What didn’t I like about “Letters From a Nut by Ted L. Nancy”? Basically, everything. But let me try to be more specific. The production (which seems like too fancy a word) feels thrown together, a mishmash of letters, stand-up and video skits, served with an incongruous pickling of surreal shtick. Pierre Balloón is credited as the director, but his name and program bio (“He specializes in abstract films using stark images and vivid colors”) suggest you’re pulling another of your fast ones. Come on, tell the truth: No one directed this, right? Speaking of names, I understand that yours is actually Barry Marder. I thought it better, however, to address this to your alter ego, Ted L. Nancy, to show that I’m willing to play along. Also, Ted seems to be the responsible party here, so let him bear the brunt while you cash the check. Not a bad little arrangement you’ve worked out for yourself. I wish I could say nice things about the two actors who joined you onstage, but I really wasn’t all that impressed with Beth Kennedy, who plays the various customer service representatives responding to your nutty queries. I found her silly wigs, fake mustaches and gung-ho delivery to be just too much. She was practically begging for laughs. And I had no idea what Sam Kwasman was doing dressed as Pagliacci. I guess the sad clown getup was supposed to be loopy, but it just made me shrug, like a bad skit on David Letterman, another guy you used to write for. (Seinfeld and Letterman — no one would suspect it, were you standing on the checkout line of your favorite store, Ralphs, in your windbreaker and baggy trousers.) I hope this letter doesn’t make me sound like a curmudgeon. I’ll confess I had a mini outburst of road rage while heading to the Geffen. Construction near the intersection of Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards stopped traffic, and all the Beverly Hills shoppers and agents were practically driving on the sidewalks to wedge in front of me. But I made it to the theater in plenty of time and was looking forward to a few mindless giggles on a summer night. I didn’t think your low-key opening monologue would be the show’s high point. I laughed hard when you talked about needing to go on a second diet because the first one didn’t allow you enough food. But then I just kept waiting for the hilarity to kick into high gear. I think I might have tittered at some of the hotels jokes you told when you stepped away from the monotonous letters to do more stand-up, but I doubt anyone heard me. My advice: If you’re going to perform, you have to bring more of yourself to the stage. You can’t hide behind a bunch of letters, which don’t really tell a story and so are best left between the covers of books that people store in their back seats and bathrooms.

  • Bee Movie, ” Una Commedia Che Cambierà Tutto Ciò Che Credevate Di Sapere Sulle Api
    Il creatore Jerry Seinfeld presenta “Bee Movie, ” una commedia che cambierà tutto ciò che credevate di sapere sulle api. Osservate più da vicino il mondo di queste instancabili creature attraverso gli occhi di — Barry B. Benson (interpretato dal vincitore di un Emmy e di un Golden Globe, Jerry Seinfeld). Il neo-laureato Barry desidera più dalla vita dell’inevitabile carriera che lo attende come tutti gli altri abitanti di New Hive City —un lavoro alla Honex, la fabbrica di miele. Barry afferra al volo l’opportunità di avventurarsi fuori dall’alveare, venendo a contatto con un mondo assolutamente straordinario. Quando Barry si imbatte per caso in Vanessa, una vivace fioraia di Manhattan (interpretata dal Premio Oscar® Renée Zellweger), infrange una delle regole di base del mondo delle api — le parla. Tra i due nasce un’amicizia, e Barry riceve un corso rapido sul modo di vivere degli umani. Quando scopre che chiunque può acquistare del miele in un negozio di alimentari, è scioccato dal fatto che gli umani da anni stiano rubando questo prodotto singolare delle api a fini di lucro. Indignato, decide di vendicare questo oltraggio facendo causa alla razza umana. “Bee Movie” è il primo film di animazione di Seinfeld, un atto d'amore per il celebre comico che non solo presta la voce al personaggio principale ma ha anche co-sceneggiato e prodotto il film. Oltre a Seinfeld e alla Zellweger altri attori straordinari hanno prestato le voci ai personaggi animati. Matthew Broderick (“Conciati per le feste ”, “The Producers”) interpreta Adam Flayman, il migliore amico di Barry e suo compagno di università, contento di lavorare per la Honex.
