Digital Self Editing Toolkit
A digital self editing toolkit is included to help students learn to self-edit and peer-edit, too. The simple system is explained in the Google slide deck. Once you’ve taught it to them, they can edit their own writing in a few easy steps. As they finish a daily journal page, they use the editing highlighter bars to correct their errors. They slide the bars across the page to find mistakes. Then they put the bars in a rubric to let you know if they feel they did great or if they need more help. It's like a handy self editing checklist that's interactive.
