Opinion Writing: Check My Opinion Page

Today I am practising: editing a short opinion for complete ideas and basic conventions
1
Reread your opinion sentence.
2
Check that it begins with a capital letter.
3
Circle the end mark.
4
Check spaces between the words in one sentence.
5
Reread your reason and make one repair if needed.
6
Show an adult your checklist and name one thing you checked.
- Save editing for after the child has finished sharing ideas.
- Read the writing aloud slowly so missing words or end marks are easier to notice.
- Invite one or two meaningful repairs; do not turn the checklist into a complete rewrite.
