Proofreading and Editing Lesson (Newspaper Report writing)

L.O. To proofread and edit writing appropriately.

A whole lesson to encourage children to proofread and improve on writing after a first draft. The following lesson pupils were going to proof-read and improve their own newspaper reports on an Anglo-Saxon invasion. However, in the past, pupils in my class struggled with knowing how to improve their writing and often thought it meant making it neater, or changing a couple of words. I thought it might help them if we focused on proof-reading my writing first!

This bundle contains:
* A lesson plan
* Success criteria (differentiated 2 ways)
* x2 versions of the same newspaper report (1 for higher attainers, 1 for lower attainers) for the pupils to proofread, highlight and improve
* x1 'corrected' version of the newspaper report
* A presentation which talks the activity through with the children
