Yes, write a letter. Don’t blame the teacher. Try to sound mature-- explain what the problem is and how you plan to address it 2nd semester. (Have you lined up some tutoring?) Also, talk to your guidance counselor and explain-- again, sounding positive. If the schools were interested in you, they may call to the counselor to find out what happened. Meanwhile, redouble your efforts to do better in this class. The schools may be interested in your 3rd quarter grades. (If you bring it up to a B- or above, send the 3rd quarter grades in voluntarily.)
