Letter to Grade 5... Final Written Assignment!

You have been writing a letter to the Gr. 5 class telling them about what is was like studying Grade 6 Language Arts. I am so happy with your work so far- compare it some of your writing on your blog or in the portfolio from August. It shows a big improvement!
Once you are finished your draft please make sure you have completed the following checks before asking me to look at your work:
1. Read over your letter 2-3 times. Even read it out loud, really listen for parts that don't sound right.
2. Make sure you have an introduction and a conclusion sentence in each paragraph.
3. Make sure you introduce the topic of your paragraphs.
4. What tense did you use? Is it consistent? For most of these letters I guess you would use past tense since you are talking about something that has already happened to you.
5. Last step- have one friend read it over.
This letter is due Monday May 30th.
