Clarity and Meaning
Correct Use of Words
Capitalization
Punctuation
Spelling
First, let's make sure our writing is clear. When someone reads your paragraph, they should be able to identify the holiday you chose. They should read details about the holiday.
How well did you use your words? Did you provide facts? Do your sentences sound good together? Try reading your paragraph aloud. Sometimes you will catch things that you might miss if you just read it silently.
Now let's check for capital letters. Take a look at the first letter in each sentence. Do you see a capital letter? I hope so! You will also want to make sure proper nouns are capitalized too.

It's time for the final step--checking your spelling! You may need your dictionary for this step. If there is a word you really aren't sure how to spell, the dictionary is the place to go.
When you are finished, please submit your checklist to your teacher. Keep your rough draft in a safe place. You will use it to publish your final copy tomorrow.
