Lesson content:

Step 1:

Define what is meant by the term 'proofreading'.
This is the process of reading through a document to identify and correct errors or rearrange the text.  Sometimes we are working so quickly that common mistakes are made such as omissions, insertions and transpositions.

Step 2:

Use the proofreading acronym to identify mistakes in a passage. The proofreading acronym is C.U.P.S, which stands for Capitalizations, Usage, Punctuation and Spelling. The YouTube video will give you further details on how you use these. Click the link on slide 7 of the PowerPoint presentation.

Step 3:

Produce a final document free of errors. For this objective you will complete a Word processed document. Click the link on slide 9 of the PowerPoint presentation and you will find the document that you are required to complete.

Conclusion

Today we looked at an Introduction to Proofreading. For our next lesson we will cover proofreader's marks and working with abbreviations.  Please answer the following questions and submit on the Google classroom:

1. What is proofreading?
2. List four kinds of errors you must search for when proofreading.

Well done in Lesson One today. I look forward to you joining me for Lesson Two.
