This booklet contains information on how to set up a Pen Friends project, a nationwide, intergenerational writing project that pairs a class of junior of senior high school students with a group of older adults in the same community. The booklet notes that participants establish a relationship through letter writing based on visits to a local cultural resource. It describes how to choose a local cultural site and contains motivational writing activities, activity sheets, forms for scheduling and recording, and a program evaluation. The booklet is organized around the 10 steps of the project: (1) finding a group of writing partners; (2) selecting a cultural site to visit; (3) planning the calendar and keeping records; (4) letter writing warm-up activities; (5) writing a letter of introduction; (6) and (7) visiting a cultural site and writing letters (first visit); (8) introducing the writing partners face-to-face; (9) evaluating the project; and (10) sharing the project with others. An appendix presents five additional creative letter writing activities; a four-item annotated bibliography is attached.) (RS)
