Proofreading


 * Choose a student's story that has been drafted on the computer and use that as a proof reading model at the beginning or end of a writing session
 * Have the whole class or maybe a targeted group discuss what changes need to be made and let the children take charge of the proofreading
 * use an example of drafted writing as a proofreading activity to be completed while waiting to conference (several children can be working on this activity at one time)[[image:http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fAJ1_x5EGq8/SMxVmDZ49RI/AAAAAAAAAvA/wciDRhYXRcM/s320/Writing+stories.jpg align="left" link="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fAJ1_x5EGq8/SMxVmDZ49RI/AAAAAAAAAvA/wciDRhYXRcM/s1600-h/Writing+stories.jpg"]]
