Reread the teacher’s assignment sheet for required mechanics, i.e., font size, margin size, page number requirement, etc. Go back through your paper and double check that these requirements have been met. Using the editing sheet, go through and edit your own paper. Then, reread the paper to yourself out loud. Once you have completed your editing and made the changes, have another person edit the paper. It may be good to have more than one person edit the paper. They will pick up errors that you missed. Choose editors that will actually critique and edit your paper rather than a person who will pass it back to you with a smile and a “good job.” Give the editor the teacher’s assignment and the editing sheet. Make any final corrections and print the final copy. Pass the paper in on time.
