Writing that is littered with mistakes is hard to read.
It just is.
No matter how great your ideas are – errors in punctuation, spelling, capitalization and grammar will detract from your message.
This is why I want my students to reflexively edit their mistakes.
It should be normal to read over a sentence and capitalize an I.
It should be normal to scan a paragraph and capitalize a city name.
It should be normal to spot an error in subject-verb agreement, and change it.
This is why I have my students “act as editors.”
Here is the latest worksheet I created. The mistakes have been added, and students are expected to restore the quotes.
I hope it helps!
