Presented by: Website: Bryan M. Berretta http://www.collaterallearning.com

What are we trying to do?

Make our students more aware of the stylistic and structural format of their writing by helping them to be better proofreaders.

The “Who, Why, What and Where”….

Page 4: Proofreading 2.0

Students know how to write a paper But can they write well?

Proofreading is a “stage” in the writing process, not a “step.”

Basic Assumptions

Page 5: Proofreading 2.0

Prewriting Brainstorm, idea mapping, developing thesis

Research Supporting the argument- building rhetoric

Drafting Pumping out the first draft

Revising Cleaning it up.

Editing/Proofreading Perfecting it.

We’ve taught them how to write…

Students must see the experience the writing differently

How do we make proofreading successful?

Page 18: Proofreading 2.0

Give yourself some distance between writing and proofreading.

Get a friend to hear you read your paper and read it back to you.

Don’t rely on spell check alone. Try experiencing your paper

differently.

What do students need to do?

May not be the most technologically advanced method… but it works!

Checklists – Grade your own work.

Page 22: Proofreading 2.0

If proofreading is a stage just like research, we need time to do it.

Don’t just wait until the last minute!

Give yourself time…

The Big 6 Approach

1. Task Definition1.1 Define the information problem1.2 Identify information needed

2. Information Seeking Strategies2.1 Determine all possible sources2.2 Select the best sources

3. Location and Access3.1 Locate sources (intellectually and physically)3.2 Find information within sources

4. Use of Information4.1 Engage (e.g., read, hear, view, touch)4.2 Extract relevant information

5. Synthesis5.1 Organize from multiple sources5.2 Present the information

6. Evaluation6.1 Judge the product (effectiveness)6.2 Judge the process (efficiency)
