Your punctuation (run-on sentences), grammar (missing pronoun in next-to-last sentence) and spelling (sincerely....) is off. Despite this, you will earn your grade based on attendance, class participation and completing assignments and tests, just like any other student.

Turning in that letter would be suicide if you felt that letter alone would "earn" your grade. Get to work.

I cannot grade you, but I can point out a few errors (all of these corrections are assuming that you are writing a formal or semi-formal letter):

-Make sure your capitals are in the correct places, for example north lasvegas should be North Las Vegas, and Language arts should be Language Arts. There are quite a few of this sort of error in your text so get a capitalization guide from the internet or your classroom and check on the words you are unsure of.

-Dear, Mr. Senegar should be Dear Mr. Senegar, (in other words the comma goes at the end of the line)

-NEVER use contractions in a formal letter. (example: I'm) instead, use the full version (example: I am)

-"Most people would say that I'm" sounds a bit too friendly, and it is a generalization. A better phrase would be "I sometimes appear to be"

-"I like to read. Although I don't necessary love reading" sounds a bit awkward. Maybe you should point out that you love reading, but you do not always have time to read because of your busy lifestyle (or something like that).

-"some of my favorite types of books are..." the word 'types' should be 'genres', it sounds more professional :) (see below for a suggestion)

-"The book Thief" should probably be "the book Thief, written by (author name here)", and the word Thief should be written in italics (or underlined if you are writing by hand).

-you used the word "favorite" many times. You should try substituting other words. Good words are "prefer" (or preferred) and "find the most enjoyable" (or found the most enjoyable, depending on which sentence you use it in).

-One sentence says "It was a very learning experience" this is a typo you should fix :)

-Instead of "I like to be graded fairly. Meaning that" you could combine the two and say "I like my work to be graded fairly based on..." etc.

-"During this year in your class would like to.." There is a typo, you forgot the "I".

-Sincerely (That is the correct spelling.)

I would have gotten beat for those kind of grades. Those grades don't deserve an Xbox 360 as a gift.

Are you asking what grade you deserve on the above paragraph? If so, there are five to ten capitalization, spelling and gramatical errors in your question, so I say "B".

You mention that you expect "the highest possible grade" if you work really hard.... keep in mind that grades are for RESULTS - not EFFORT.

Trying hard is good - keep it up, but expect that your grade will be based on RESULTS - the quality of the work you turn in.

Good luck.

for honors hs. i'd say a C-.

letter lacks necessary mechanics, contains poor grammar, and the overall flow is below average. i suggest you put some time in elementary grammar books and acquire the appropriate skills to do well in language honors classes.

seriously.
