I can statements

• I can use a writing process to create a better final product.

In this lesson you are going to use the suggestions of your partner to revise your project so that you have a final product ready for the next class session.

1. Reread your partners questions/comments/suggestions from yesterday.

2. Begin by addressing any questions your partner had. Make sure that you explain as well as you can.

3. Next, look at other comments/suggestions your partner provided. Revise your paper based upon the suggestions you believe will help.

4. Edit the mechanics of your paper based upon findings on your COPS checklist. Make sure to spell check your document before printing/presenting.

5. Refer back to your Geographic Research Planning and Organization document that was completed in Lesson 3 of the Research Unit and address the final 3 questions:

• Did my project accomplish what I set out to do? Yes/No Why?
• Did my project include all of the parts? Yes/No Why?
• Did my project meet the product goal? Yes/No Why?
