Product description
From the author
This editing checklist provides self-edit and peer-edit columns for spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar and formatting. Students check their drafts, exchange feedback and name the peer editor.
Choose criteria appropriate to the writing task and teach them first. Clarify the source’s comma advice using sentence structure and context, as explained in the teaching notes.
