Super Sleuth-Proofreading Books
Process
-
Students will be divided into 4 groups of 4
-
Each group will receive a different book to proofread.
-
Take turns reading the book outloud to the other members in your group. What does not sound right?
-
Now that you have each read your book aloud, begin proofreading.
-
Look for errors in spelling,punctuation, and words that just don't sound right.
-
Feel free to write on books your corrections.
-
Any ideas on how the company could change their story or something that would make it better for other students your age?
-
Now that you have read your book and gathered a list of corrected errors and new ideas,begin thinking of what you would say to the president of this company.
-
Each group needs to come up with a 5 Minute presentation.
-
This presentation will include a short introduction on what your book was about,the changes you made, and what as a student you think will make the book better.
-
Remember the publishing company is counting on us for our help. Your presentation is to be directed at the president of the company.
