Editing a Draft
This activity will help you meet this educational goal:
You will edit a draft using standard English conventions.
Directions
Read the instructions for this self-checked activity. Type in your response to each question, and check your answers. At the end of the activity, write a brief evaluation of your work.
Activity
In this activity, you’ll use the rules for correct capitalization, spelling, and punctuation to review a piece of writing by one of your peers. You will also edit your own writing based on a peer review.
To begin this activity, follow these steps:
Consult your teacher about partnering with a peer to review each other’s writing.
Use this worksheet about participating collaboratively. You and your partner should complete the worksheet before you begin the peer review process.
Trade a work of writing with your partner, and review each other’s work for errors in capitalization, spelling, and punctuation. Don’t forget to reference a style guide as needed.
When finished, look at the review of your own writing and complete any necessary edits.
If you will not be working with a peer, review and edit a piece of writing that you have written for this course instead.
Part A
Who reviewed your draft?
Part B
In the chart, show three examples of corrections you made from your edited draft. Enter your original text in the left column. In the middle column, identify the spelling, capitalization, or punctuation error that was made. Then enter your edited text in the right column. An example has been done for you.
Original text: But then I read about Release, I put the book down and tried to rationalize how they could do this with a clean conscience.
Error: comma splice
Edited text: But then I read about Release. I put the book down and tried to rationalize how they could do this with a clean conscience.
