This resource focuses on the collaborative process of editing and peer reviewing written text. The learning objective is to help students identify common language usage and convention errors, such as capitalization, punctuation, and pronoun usage, and apply effective revision strategies to correct these errors while giving constructive feedback to their peers. The document outlines the 'Big 5' common errors to watch for, including rules on proper nouns, punctuation in lists, and sentence structure. It includes checklists for editors, sample sentences for practice, and peer feedback frames to guide constructive criticism. Additionally, students engage in error analysis through partner work, where they identify and correct mistakes, reinforcing their understanding of grammar rules. This comprehensive guide aims to boost students' editing skills and foster collaborative learning in writing.
