Every-day Edit: Rubber Duck Voyagers

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Learners correct errors in spelling and usage in a quick, six-line proofreading exercise. Makes a nice warm-up and reinforces editing skills. I've seen work like this called Daily Oral Language (D.O.L) practice; the class reviews the example together verbally and then individuals make corrections on their hard copies.
