Teacher Observation:
Assign students a writing topic
(narrative or expository). Have the
students write a rough draft. Using
editing symbols have students work
first independently to edit their own
writing, correct errors and add details
using editing symbols in red pen.
Then, have students work in pairs to
read each other’s writing and make
any necessary editing marks to their
partner’s writing.

Step 1:
Introduce the editing symbols for
writing and practice samples on the
board together as a class. Write
sentences and paragraphs with
various errors (capitalization,
punctuation, etc.) correct them
together, using the editing symbols
to correct each error.
Step 2:
Have the editing symbols posted
either with a poster in the room or
on cards for individual students to
keep in their desks. Using the
Daily Oral Language format, have
students copy down various
sentences and paragraphs with a
variety of errors. They should copy
the sentences “as is” on their
journals and use red pens to insert
editing symbols to correct each
mistake. Go over the editing
symbols together as a class and
discuss.
Step 3:
Assign a writing project (narrative
or expository). Have students use
editing symbols to correct errors
and add details to their writing
before they start a final copy.

Introduce the subject of sentences

comparing the sentence to a
person. A person needs both a
body and a brain to work; in a
similar way, a sentence needs both
a subject and a verb to be
complete.

Ask volunteers for a list of subjects
and verbs, and write students’

Have students combine the
subjects and verbs to practice
forming sentences.
Introduce subjects and predicates.
The subject of a sentence is the
part that tells whom or what the
sentence is about. The predicate is
the part that tells what the subject
is or does.
Brainstorm with the students and
write various subjects and
predicates on the board randomly.
Then, ask the students to combine
the subjects and predicates to
make sentences on their papers.

LANGUAGE ARTS/COMMUNICATIONS STANDARDS.
01.
Languages and Communications. Language, the gateway to learning, provides our
most powerful and readily available tool to represent the world to ourselves as well as ourselves to the
world. Not only a means of communications, language serves as our primary instrument of thought, a
defining feature of culture, and an unmistakable mark of personal identity. Encouraging and enabling
students to effectively use language remains one of society’s most significant tasks. Educators, parents, and
communities share responsibility in helping students prepare for productive performance. When students
exit high school, they will be able to use reading, writing, listening, speaking, and viewing for personal use,
as a citizen and consumer, in the workplace, for cultural enrichment, in the Fine Arts, and for lifelong
learning.
