English: Writing - Zoom input at 9:30am

Let's start by reading some more of our class reader, Holes'. It is Chapter Nine, when Stanley finally gets a nickname!

Task: Finish and edit your Guides to CGL. This is the final day we will be working on them.

Proof read your own work:

• Read your work backwards – this helps to identify any spelling errors more easily, as each word is read in isolation. 
• Correct own spelling errors independently (use spell checkers, dictionaries, on the computer).

Edit your work:

• Read through your work  – does it make sense? 
• Have you used varied punctuation?
• Have you included interesting word choices?
