-Punctuation, spelling, capitals, webbing and paragraph writing skills will be our focus through the use of our agendas (accuracy in copying messages that model good writing form) and we will also pursue this worthy self-editing goal soon in our personal dictionary/spellers.

-Finish working on paragraph 3 of our Great Canadian Mail Race letter: About My City

-In the school’s computer lab, we will type out our letters from beginning to end.

(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 4 paragraphs have gone through this process we will work on typing out our final, published copy.

-Journal Entry: no new journal entry for this week while our attention is focussed on the G.C.M.R.
