Writing Journalism Self Editing Self Check Handout {Editable}
Journalism Writing Self-Editing/Self-Check Handout for Students - offered in Microsoft Word so you can customize it!
Do you have time to edit students' rough drafts? Isn't reading & grading final drafts time consuming enough? Do math teachers pre-grade homework & tests, turn them back to the student so the student can make corrections, then read & grade them all over again? Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it!?
That's why I'm a firm believer in self-checking and self-editing, as well

Direct Quote Citing Practice + Black History Month + Civil Rights Activist Essay
I had initially developed this for my students to read informational text, and practice citing quotes properly, while honoring Black History Month. It worked well, having read about 3 different significant historical African Americans. I developed it further to make a larger assessment in essay form. The essay itself is a biographical research essay where students read about 3 Civil Rights Activists of their choosing and document their accomplishments, but all centered around an opinionated, but
