Can I use this editing worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade writing process, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
What do students fix when editing?
⌄
They fix errors in conventions. Edit a Report on Hot Air Balloons has 3 comma errors, 2 misplaced modifiers, 3 subject-verb agreement errors and 2 misspelled words.
How do you mark errors?
⌄
The sheet gives a marking box. Cross out a wrong word and write the correct one above it, draw a caret to add a missing comma and cross out an extra comma. A misplaced modifier is crossed out and written again at the caret where it belongs.
Is there a checklist for editing a student's own draft?
⌄
Yes. Sentence and Modifier Editing Checklist has a row for phrases and clauses, modifiers, commas with adjectives and sentence variety. Students check each row and write one fix they made.
