What do you notice about your writing?
This exercise is excellent for revision. Students examine their sentences one by one.
Note: You may have to discuss the definition of scrutiny. Wonderful mini-vocabulary
lesson!
4. Other: instruct the students to write down some other element you are working on in class.
For example, have them write all the coordinating conjunctions they’ve used. They will
see very quickly if they are using multiple ands.
The questions at the bottom of the page encourage the students to reflect about the strengths
and weaknesses of their writing and to make decisions about how to improve it.
