Editing Workshop ~~
Directions:
Exchange drafts with one of your classmates. Read each sentence carefully, maybe
several times.
- Edit any and
all errors you find. Mark your corrections directly on the draft. Check each
sentence for spelling, punctuation, grammar, and typo errors. Be especially
on the lookout for these extremely common errors: sentence structure; pronoun
agreement; subject-verb agreement; shifting verb tense; comma splice; misused
semicolon; unnecessary or missing comma; misused spellcheckers; typos.
- Edit sentences
for style issues related to any of the following: tone, wordiness, clarity.
- Place an asterisk
or a question mark next to any sentence that (a) you think might be wrong,
but you're not exactly sure, (b) you think might be improved but you're not
sure how to improve it, or (c) you know is wrong, but you're not sure how
to fix it.
