This fun holiday activity has students writing a letter to Santa from the point of view of a well-known villain from childrens' stories, movies, fairy tales, etc.
Writing in role, students must convince Santa that they don't deserve a spot on the naughty list - what they are infamous for has all been a misunderstanding.
This resource contains a full set of instructions, brain storm web, completed brain storm web, pre-writing graphic organizer, 5 different sheets of Christmas stationery, a drawing page, and a completed letter. I have also included a picture of how I display these projects on a bulletin board display.

My kids loved this activity. They had such a great time writing from a different point of view. I was amazed at how well they turned out. Some of the best letters came from my students who have learning disabilities! Definitely a keeper activity to pull out every year.

My students had a great time working on this project the week before Christmas break. My students tended to want to blame the other character rather than explain their actions in a positive way. Something I will need to work with more when I use this activity next year. Thanks!

I havent used yet since it is January but think it looks like just the thing to fill those days before Christmas with a worthwhile activitiy that will encourage good writing. I had to purchase so I would remember it for next year! Can't wait to use it.

I used this idea the two days prior to our winter break and it was by far the best writing my students have done all year. Many students actually did 2 letters! Thanks again for such great ideas. This really appealed to my reluctant writers as well as my willing writers. We made a great bulletin board and have received a lot of positive feedback from others reading the letters.
