It's time to dot your i's, and cross your t's and carefully reread what you've written...in other words, it's time to edit and proofread! The conventions of writing, including grammar and mechanics, ensure that what is written accurately conveys what the writer intended to express. In Editing & Proofreading, student writers discover how grammar and punctuation can either clarify or could a piece of writing, whether it is a science report, a descriptive piece or even an email message. Writers detect and correct run-on sentences, fragments and comma splices, check subject-verb and noun-pronoun agreement, and identify misplaced modifiers. Students also discover how the tiniest of punctuation marks, such as commas and apostrophes, play a big role in molding meaning in writing.
