Editing

making writing suitable for publication, including the correction of errors in grammar, usage, and mechanics (i.e., punctuation, capitalization, spelling), so that errors in conventions do not interfere with an audience’s ability to understand the message.

Editing is an important stage in the writing process and contributes to a polished final product. Knowing that editing will be a stage later on makes it possible for writers to write freely and only be concerned with getting their ideas down on paper. Once the ideas are drafted, writers edit to change mechanical and formatting issues to assure the work is free of errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. While editing can take place throughout the recursive writing process, it should be addressed before publication.

Standard 2		Progression
	objectives in chronological order with shifts bolded	how the objectives develop & change through the grade levels
K.2.W.3	Students will use appropriate spacing between letters and words in emergent writing.	In kindergarten, students will learn to use appropriate spaces between words after adequate practice and guidance. Students first learn that a group of letters forms a word. As they decipher between letters and words, they will be able to add spaces between the words.
1.2.W.1	Students will develop and edit drafts using appropriate spacing between letters, words, and sentences using left-to-right and top-to-bottom progression.	In first grade, students are developing their own writing. They edit their own writing by adjusting spacing as needed and writing from left-to-right and top-to-bottom.
1.2.W.4	Students will correctly spell grade-level, highly decodable words (e.g., cup, like, cart) and common, irregularly spelled sight words (e.g., the) while editing using resources as needed.	First-grade students also review their writing and correct misspellings of grade-level words by applying their increasing knowledge of spelling patterns to spell words. They may use resources such as sound walls, word lists, or anchor charts.
2.2.W.2	Students will edit drafts using appropriate spacing between letters, words, and sentences.	In second grade, students review writing and adjust spacing as needed between letters, words, and sentences.
2.2.W.4	Students will correctly spell grade-level words while editing using resources as needed.	Second-grade students correctly spell decodable words and an increasing number of irregularly spelled words. They may use resources such as dictionaries, sound/word walls, anchor charts, word lists, etc.
3.2.W.3	Students will routinely and recursively edit drafts for punctuation, capitalization, and correctly-spelled grade-level words, using resources as needed.	Upper elementary students are expanding their knowledge of conventions with a focus on punctuation rules, capitalization rules, and grade-level-appropriate spelling rules. Students edit their drafts utilizing resources such as checklists, anchor charts, or writing folders.
4.2.W.3
5.2.W.3
6.2.W.4	Students will routinely and recursively edit for correct grammar, usage, and mechanics, using various resources.	Middle school students continue to routinely and recursively edit papers by combining all previous skills, so they are using correct grammar, usage, and mechanics. By now, students can construct proper sentences and avoid run-ons and fragments. They can also apply correct capitalization, end marks, and apostrophe rules. Students also use various resources when editing, such as spell check, electronic editing functions, and teacher-provided editing checklists that are aligned to the Standard 5 skills for the student’s grade level.
7.2.W.4
8.2.W.4
9.2.W.4	Students will routinely and recursively use resources to edit for grammar, usage, mechanics, and format in order to finalize drafts for publication.	High school students continue using resources such as checklists, anchor charts, and editing functions available through Word or Google Docs to edit for grammar, usage, and mechanics as part of the recursive writing process. By now students can compose all four sentence structures while avoiding run-ons and fragments. They have also learned all the rules for correct capitalization, end marks, apostrophes, italics, and semicolons. At this level, students focus heavily on editing with a final product in mind, which includes proper formatting (e.g. APA, MLA, or other formats depending on the task).
