Proofreading Your Work! :)
Begin by reading your paper aloud. Listen to how it sounds. Do you need to make changes to make it read better? Do you need to break up run-on sentences. Do you need to combine sentences to vary the lengths in your paper? Did you begin each sentence with a capital letter and end with the correct punctuation? Did you spell each word correctly? Did you use good word choices? Do your sentences all stay on topic? Did you provide details about the topic by writing about it and not getting off on something else? Did you end your paper with a summary sentence?
Remember when you write a paragraph indent the first line with five spaces. Then write the sentences together with just one space between them. Add a punctuation mark at the end of each sentence and then one space before beginning a new sentence. Remember do not just list sentences.
Whew! Proofreading is WORK but it makes for great writing and easy reading! :)
