Narrator:
Today you’re going to learn to edit.
Eagles have super vision so put on your
eagle eyes by making your fingers look like this over your eyes and get ready to look for
mistakes!
First, let’s start by looking at capitalization.
Please read this sentence with me.
The bike is under the bed.
Use your eagle eyes. Do you see a letter that is lowercase but should be a capital letter? Put your
finger on it.
Great! The first letter of a sentence is always capital so it should be a capital T!
Let’s try another one.
Please read this sentence with me.
I see blue dice.
Use your eagle eyes. Do you see a letter that is lowercase but should be a capital letter? Put your
finger on it.
Terrific! The word, I, should always be capital, no matter where it is in a sentence.
Now let’s look at punctuation.
Please read this sentence with me.
They saw three mice.
Use your eagle eyes. What is missing at the end of the sentence?
Put your finger where it goes.
You got it! This is a telling sentence so the period needs to go at the end of the sentence.
Please read this sentence with me.
Is he nice?
Use your eagle eyes. What is missing at the end of the sentence?
Put your finger where it goes.
You did it! This is an asking sentence so a question mark is missing at the end.
Please read this sentence with me.
The bee got me!
Use your eagle eyes. What is missing at the end of this sentence?
Put your finger where it goes.
Terrific! This is an exclaiming sentence so an exclamation mark is missing at the end.
You are an excellent eagle eye editor!
