4 Daily Editing Introduction Daily Editing provides teachers with an effective structure for reinforcing and assessing students editing and proofreading skills using standard writing conventions. Students need daily practice with capitalization, punctuation, grammar, spelling, and sentence structure to ensure proficiency. This book fosters the development of these conventions and editing skills through frequent, focused practice. Daily Editing includes 180 grade-appropriate fiction and nonfiction passages (including journal entries, s, and letters) that provide material for students practice. Each basic practice page focuses on one or more proofreading marks within the context of appropriate conventions. Reviews provide additional practice of the introduced skills in a sequential, cumulative manner. This resource contains: A detailed table of contents to help teachers identify targeted writing conventions Student pages with error overviews to guide students in editing Answer key pages with all errors corrected using appropriate proofreading marks A Proofreader s Marks Chart to teach and reinforce standard proofreading marks An Editing Checklist that highlights basic rules for writing and editing A Grammar Glossary for students and teachers to use as a reference How to Use This Book Daily Editing can be used in a variety of ways depending on instructional goals and students needs. Determine the approach that is most effective for your students. 1. Use each passage as a directed lesson for the whole class. Conduct a mini-lesson on a targeted convention and the appropriate proofreading mark. Then, display an overhead transparency of the chosen passage. Read the passage aloud and note the number of errors cited on the answer key page. Reread the passage, pausing between the sentences. Correct the errors as a class using the appropriate marks. 2. Use each passage as an independent lesson for small groups or pairs of students. Before beginning, familiarize students with a targeted convention and the appropriate proofreading mark. Then, give each group or pair a copy of the chosen passage. Direct students in each group or pair to work together to identify the errors and correct them using the appropriate proofreading marks. When each group or pair is finished, display an overhead transparency of the passage and identify the errors as a class. (If desired, invite students to identify each error and to determine the associated convention.) 3. Use each passage as independent practice for individual students. Give each student a copy of the chosen passage. Direct students to read the passage, identify the errors, and use the appropriate proofreading marks to correct them. When students are finished, display an overhead transparency of the passage and identify the errors as a class. CARSON-DELLOSA CD GRADE 2 DAILY EDITING
