Proofreading Practice

Proofreading Practice

1. Last week we spent some time with proofreading texts written by Mr. Frisch. He sure did make some silly errors.  Now we are going to take a look at some messages written by others and try to provide some of our wisdom and insight.

Click on this proofreading website and review the following two assignments that have been written by the professionals, yet may contain some errors.

The Big Clean Up
Baseball Play-By-Play

2. Spelling Words
    Our spelling words this week are sort  tricky. These words are homophones, which means that two words have a similar sound, but differnt spelling. So as you study your spelling words this week, make sure hold on to the definitions and practice sentences that we make in class.
  1. Lone
  2. Break
  3. Waist
  4. Passed
  5. Sore
  6. Cellar
  7. Roll
  8. Died
  9. Past
  10. Steak
  11. Role
  12. Steel
  13. Loan
  14. Dyed
  15. Seller
  16. Brake
  17. Soar
  18. Steal
  19. Stake
  20. Waste
3. Take a look at the picture below. Make a list of 10 things that you observe. Next, make 5 comparisons between the green center of the photo and the grey surroundings.
