Topic 5: Check it twice!
1. Absorb.
Watch the video below. It will give you great examples and tips on how to edit or proofread your paper. It will focus on grammar, spelling, capitalization and punctuation. Once you have finished watching the video, you will have an opportunity to practice your editing skills as well.
2. Do.
For this activity, you will need to go to Google Classroom. There you will find an assignment called “Topic 5: Proofreading Exercise”.
You will have an example summary about Henry Ford. You need to locate all grammar, spelling, capitalization and punctuation errors. Once you have found them, you will highlight the words or letters that are incorrect. However, if you would like to change the words instead of highlighting, that will be acceptable. I will grade based on the mistakes caught. Submit it through the “Turn In” option on the top right hand corner of your document. |
3. Connect.
Your summary is written! You should have all the required pieces. However, you need to make sure that your writing is error free! Your last activity is to check your summary for any grammar, spelling, capitalization or punctuation errors. Please go to Google Classroom and find an assignment called “Connect Activity for ‘Writing a Summary’ Module”. Read your writing out loud to yourself to help you hear some of your mistakes. Make sure to pause appropriately for periods when you read it.
