Fictitious Pen-Pal Friendship

Create a fictional character from a different culture or era, and write them a letter as though you are establishing a pen-pal relationship.

This invites creativity and challenges you to put yourself in another’s shoes. Imagine your correspondent’s environment, their daily encounters, their cultural practice. How would they perceive your world? What would you like to know about theirs? This exercise not only fuels your imagination, but can also enhance your understanding of different cultures and eras through research.
