Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students reread a completed draft and find errors in capitalization, punctuation, spelling, sentence structure, and grammar. They correct those errors and prepare a readable final copy.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students find and correct errors without changing the writer’s meaning. They can explain why each change is needed and produce a clean final copy.
Common Misconceptions: Students may correct spelling but overlook capitals, punctuation, sentence boundaries, or grammar. They may also change correct sentences because they think editing means rewriting every line.
How to Assess It: Give students this passage: “my friend jada have two puppys they like to chase there tails.” Ask them to rewrite it correctly and circle each change.

Lesson moves

Give pairs a printed paragraph and colored pencils to mark capitals, punctuation, spelling, and grammar before writing a clean copy.
Display “i goed to atlanta on saturday” and ask students to correct it, then explain one change in writing.
Run an editing relay where teams rotate through sentence cards fixing capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and subject-verb agreement.
Have students edit a mock school announcement before posting it, checking names, dates, complete sentences, spelling, and punctuation.
