This Fall, I’m teaching another Composition class for the local Co-op. This group is younger than my class this past year. One way to help kids understand how to edit is to let them edit material rife with errors, using edit symbols or proofreading marks. Here are proofreading exercises with answer keys. The kids can practice using the symbols to edit these paragraphs. BTW, I have kids send me essays to grade outside of class. You can take a screenshot and edit the image. Editing is much easier on paper.
