Every-day Edit: Hobo Turned Poet

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Pupils proofread a short paragraph about Carl Sandburg. The errors span capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and grammar. Useful as a warm-up and language conventions review. Go over it together as a class verbally and have individual learners correct hard copies of their own to reinforce the material.
