    1.  Determine what battle you are going to fight in.  Here are your choices:

2.  Go to your resource page and do research on your battle. Take notes remembering what you need to include in your letter. Go here to review the criteria. 

3.  Web your ideas using our program called Inspiration.   The teacher will be showing you how to use it.  Remember that order and organization are important when writing your letter to your friend.  You don't want the end of your battle in the beginning of your letter. Print out your web. Write your name and teacher's name on it.

4.  Write your rough draft for your letter.  Remember, you want your friend to feel and see what you do.  That means lots of adjectives! Click on the evaluation link at the bottom of this page to make sure you have answered all of the required questions.

5. Proofread and revise your letter.

6.  In Microsoft Word, type your letter to your friend.  Remember, you must log in first and save it in your file. Spell check your work. Make sure it is in letter form. Save before printing!

7.  Turn your paper into the teacher.
