Today we worked on letters to Famous People Who Stutter. We are writing the famous football player Darren Sproles and the famous actor James Earl Jones (Darth Vader). We planned for our letters last week and wrote rough drafts this week. Our letters have four parts: 1- a little bit about ourselves, 2- why we are writing, 3- questions we have for the famous person about stuttering, 4- thanking them for their time. We will send our letters to Mr. Sproles and Mr. Jones after we proof read and write a final copy next week.

Wow! That sounds awesome! What kinds of questions are you asking them? Are there more famous people who stutter that you have learned about? How does that make you feel to know that there are movie actors and football players who also stutter? Writing to those men sounds like such a fun experience!

We asked them questions about how they got through interviews and acting with their stuttering. There are a lot of other famous people who stutter like Joe Biden our vice president and Kenyon Martin the nuggets basketball player. Victor says: I feel happy that one of my favorite football players stutters like me. Jonathan says: I feel like it's interesting that Darth Vader stutters.
