문법 탐정 3부: 한 번에 한 가지 재밌는 스토리로 교정을 완벽하게 하기

Class Experience
 This is part three  for those who already did the first two stories, but it is not necessary to have taken the first two class to take this one-- the stories are not all dependent on each other. 

Week One:  we will learn proofreader's marks and discuss why proofreading is essential for final copies of writing. We will read the first segment of the set of stories and proofread them together.  We will discuss what the errors are and why they need fixing. 
Weeks 2-10-- for each successive week, we will review proofreader's marks,  read the next segment of the story and continue with the proofreading process. We will also make predictions about what will happen next in the story and answer comprehension questions.
Week One through Five--  "Project Principal"
Week Six through Ten--"School Cook Off" 
 
I will choose one specific skill each week to focus on, depending on what errors are found in the story, and based on student need.   
Examples of possible topics:  Capitalization, punctuation, common spelling errors, subject-verb agreement, misuse of adjectives or adverbs, switching verb tense, etc. 
Students will take turns reading and looking for the mistakes.  Through discussion, they will share what errors they found and possible ways to fix those errors.  They will explain how the mistake can lead to less precise and accurate communication. This will help them discover errors in their own writing.
