Hi Everyone,

I find that a really good way to do editing and correction in writing is to use the computer room (grades 10,11,12). Each student then writes an essay of about 120 words using WORD. When they have finished I go around the room pointing out mistakes and getting the students to come up with their own corrections. I also tell them to add a 'therefore' and a 'however' to every piece of writing they do. Some kids bring a diskette or CD and save their work that way. Others send it by attachment to their own email and others don't save their work at all. Any way you look at it, the kids often remember not to make the same mistake again. 
Enjoy life,
Patricia
