Looking for a meaningful way to help your middle and high school students build empathy, reflection, and communication skills? This Social Emotional Learning Letter Writing resource includes 20 engaging SEL letter-writing tasks, each designed to spark honest self-reflection and thoughtful peer interaction. Each of the 20 SEL letter writing tasks begins with a clear, student-friendly introduction—just 1–2 sentences explaining the real-world topic or scenario—followed by the specific leer-writing prompt.
