(Students are writing a letter composed of 4 paragraphs: About Me, About My School, About My Community (Calgary) and a wrap-up paragraph.  We are writing each paragraph according to the following process: 1) create a plan 2) write first draft 3) self-edit first draft (using C.O.P.S.- reading the paragraph over to improve use of Capitals, Organization, Punctuation and Spelling) 4) peer-edit first draft (using C.O.P.S.) 5) teacher edit first draft 6) if necessary, write second draft.  Once all 3 paragraphs have gone through this process we will work on typing out our final, published copy.
