What does conventions cover? Capitalization Punctuation Paragraphing Grammar and usage Spelling

KEY QUALITIES Checking spelling Punctuating effectively and paragraphing accurately Capitalizing correctly Applying grammar and usage

Why do students tend to struggle with this? Students count on the teacher to point out errors Students are surrounded by writing that is flawed -poorly (purposefully) spelled advertisements

Think about: Checking Spelling Have I used standard English spelling unless I chose not to for a good reason? Have I checked words with ie and ei When adding suffixes to words, have I changed y to I, doubled the final consonant, or dropped the silent e when necessary? Have I checked my work for words I have trouble spelling?

Helpful Trick… Read your work backwards! Why would this help? You focus more on the words themselves and not the ideas!

Think about: Punctuating effectively and paragraphing accurately Did I place quotation marks around dialogue and direct quotes? Did I punctuate complex sentences correctly? Did I use apostrophes to show possessives and contractions? Did I begin new paragraphs in the appropriate places?

Think about: Capitalizing Correctly Kid I capitalize proper nouns for people, places, and things? Did I capitalize dialogue correctly? Did I capitalized abbreviations, acronyms, and people’s titles correctly? Did I capitalize the title and/or other headings?

Fix this paragraph… on inauguration day we went to washington, d.c., and waited in the cold to see president obama and his family. “here he comes,” i cried with i spotted his presidential limousine round the southeast corner of pennsylvania avenue and head toward the national mall.

Think about: Applying Grammar and Usage Did I use special words such as homophones, synonyms, and antonyms correctly? Did I check my sentences for subject-verb agreement? Did I use verb tense (past, present, future) consistently throughout my piece? Did I make sure pronouns and their antecedents (the words they stand for) agree?
