Excellent Editing - Presentation
This presentation has been created to guide students through an introduction to editing their writing. It focuses on making writing ‘5 Star Writing’ by looking at the following:
These include:
- Capitalisation- Have I used capital letters where I need them?
- Punctuation- Do all my sentences end with punctuation?
- Spelling- Have I used strategies I know to sound out words?
- Clarity- Can I add, delete, move or replace words to improve the meaning of my text?
- Presentation- Is my work neat and legible?
The presentation goes through these concepts with examples to model each strategy. The unit is aimed at Year 3 students and is part of a larger unit- Excellent Editing- Year 3.
