Prep Instructions

Students will need to bring their completed work from the previous lessons to this lesson.

Decide if you want students to create their final draft on paper or digitally. Students can make a copy of the digital worksheet if they will be typing their final draft.

This lesson is separated into two parts and can be taught in two different sessions if needed. A natural stopping point is included after students edit, but before they assemble their final draft and add pictures.

This is a generic editing lesson, and can be reused when students are ready to edit any piece of writing.

If time does not allow for recopying, students can edit their first draft and assemble their final draft without recopying their writing. If you choose not to have students recopy, no additional printouts are required for this lesson.
