Writing Journalism Self Editing Self Check Handout {Editable}
Journalism Writing Self-Editing/Self-Check Handout for Students - offered in Microsoft Word so you can customize it!
Do you have time to edit students' rough drafts? Isn't reading & grading final drafts time consuming enough? Do math teachers pre-grade homework & tests, turn them back to the student so the student can make corrections, then read & grade them all over again? Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it!?
That's why I'm a firm believer in self-checking and self-editing, as well

This is the story rubric that I created, perfected, and used during my 25+ years advising high school newspapers, websites, and broadcast programs.
