Get Ready to Edit
Want a fun way to practise editing skills? Get Ready to Edit is an interactive and collaborative way for your students to practise the editing skills necessary to improve how their writing sounds and looks.
Split the class into teams and see which one does the most effective job of editing the passages. The game includes 20 slides with a mixture of errors, focussed on spelling, punctuation and grammar, for students to identify.
