Editing Sentences Worksheet

The learner page omits capitals or final marks from statements, questions, and exclamations. Students correct the printed sentences, paying attention to sentence beginnings, days, months, organizations, locations, and other proper nouns while selecting an appropriate period, question mark, or exclamation point. A completed conventions reference provides the edited set for review. Public copy describes the convention work without repeating names, brands, or exact sentence wording.
