HOW TO:
It is great to start this activity by introducing advice columns in general, reading a few of the letters and the answers. Discuss them a bit and then, give your students a copy of a letter (not the same one from the introduction).

All the students receive the same letter. After reading, each person has 3-8 minutes (depending on the level) to come up with some advice (separately). The class has a short discussion about what advice each person would give and why. You can also have students discuss their advice in small groups if you have a larger class.
The actual letters can be varied to fit your students’ abilities.
