　Suggested teaching procedures

9. Ask students to write their final letter on a piece of plain paper, or for those who are able to, type it on a computer.

8. Suggest alternatives and improvements to students' work. Try not to tell students what they have done wrong all the time. Also highlight areas where they have done something well, in order to boost their confidence.

7. When students have finished their letters, remind them to check their own work for mistakes. Tell students to swap their letters with their partners to check each other's work for mistakes.

6. Ask students to write a formal letter of their own. Remind them to use the flow chart they created as a guide for the letter. Also remind them they can use Kitty and Millie's letter as a model. Encourage them to add new and additional information if they can, and remind them that they can use synonyms of the adjectives in the letter.
