Five Ways to Make Editing a Positive Experience (The slide you don't have in your book.)

1.Spend more time highlighting what is right and beautiful than hunting for errors.

2.Make grammar about meaning.  There is a purpose for the marks we use and writers are responsible for knowing why they do what they do.  Then, sometimes we can break the rules.

3.Constantly write and collect and refer back to literature and students’ own writing

4.Teach concepts and patterns with visuals and examples.

5.Do express lane edits.
