Edit your paper using the 5 steps to a publishable paper
1. Read your writing out loud (slowly) so you can hear the mistakes.
2. Circle ANY word you think may be misspelled. LOOK IT UP!
3. Capitals start sentences, proper nouns, etc.
4. Punctuation ends sentences, is in contractions, careful with commas
5. Read your story backward, word-by-word so that you can focus on the spelling.
Take a break, then do it again and again until you are confident. Remember, what you write is a reflection of you. Remember, you want your reader to be able to understand what you write; your ideas are important enough to be heard. You do care about how you represent yourself. I care.
