Writing
Describe one of the problems faced by a character in Counting by 7s and write advice to him/her. Students may choose to be serious or humorous. Use the letter format common to newspaper advice columns, where the person with the problem writes for advice and the advisor writes back. Often the person seeking advice "disguises" his or her name with a descriptive name associated with the problem.
