Editing with Eddie, Erika and Ellie
Students will use their knowledge of ‘5 Star Writing’ to read over and edit Eddie’s writing. On each re-reading they should focus on one of the 5 skills they have learnt about in the editing unit- Excellent Editing- Year 1.
These include:
- Capital Letters- Have I used capital letters and lowercase letters where I need them?
- Punctuation- Do all of my sentence's end with punctuation?
- Spelling- Does each work look right?
- Vocabulary- Does it make sense?
- Handwriting- Is my handwriting neat? Have I used finger spaces?
