Activity 2

Directions

All good writers check their writing for mistakes. Until you get the hang of editing, an editing checklist helps you hunt for one type of mistake at a time. It should include:

  1. Capitals
  2. Punctuation
  3. Spelling
  4. Verb tense
  5. Subject-verb agreement
  6. Sentence fragments

Check your writing for each item, correct the mistakes, and cross it off your list.
