I have returned the student’s pen pal letters. Each class has two periods to work on the corrections at school (one in class and one in the lab). The corrected good copy of the pen pal letter should be TYPED.
When you have finished correcting the letter by using your sample letter (which can be found HERE) and a dictionary ( HERE), please copy and paste your work on the website Bon patron to see if you still have spelling mistakes (The Bon patron website can be found HERE).
I have graded the drafts and will grade the good copies as well. I am going to send the physical copy which will be handed in to me by the students. I am going to grade the good copy that will be sent to me by the students by email. This is another reason why you have to type your work.
Please email the copies to me at girouards@hdsb.ca
Class 5-2 corrected letters due date: Thursday April 9 2015
Class 5-1 corrected letters due date: Wednesday April 8 2015
Students who need more help or are on IEPs can come see me and I can extend their date till Friday April 10 2015.
Please note the colour code is on the corrected copy. I am going to send the letters this Friday.
Common mistakes to look for:
- et = and
- est = is
- a/as = have
- à = to (Ex: going to…)
- ma = my (feminine)
- mon = my (masculine)
- mes = my (plural, more than one)
- ta = your (feminine)
- ton = your (masculine)
- tes = your (plural, more than one)
If there is more than one it needs an S.
Remember to look at your sample letter!!!
