How do you use an editing checklist?

Reread the draft for one skill at a time, such as active voice or shifts in mood. Check Done when the draft follows the rule, then copy one sentence you corrected onto that row.

Do the editing worksheets have answer keys?

Edit a Report on the Brooklyn Bridge has an answer key. The editing checklist is used with each student's own draft, so it has no key.
