Description

Use these colorful checklists and classroom posters to teach students how to edit their sentences, paragraphs, and essays using the COPS strategy. The acronym prompts students to take a closer look at capitalization, organization, punctuation, and spelling during the editing process. These materials can be used for peer or independent editing. A printable PDF and a Google Drive version is included.

Included With Your Purchase:

  • 3 colorful versions of the COPS editing checklist: full page, half page, & quarter page
  • 5 classroom posters (these can also be used as anchor charts)
  • Printable “COPS” lettering for classroom wall or bulletin board
  • Digital version in Google Slides with movable checkmarks!

Great for Elementary and Middle School Students!

Ideas for Using the Materials:

  • Use the classroom posters and COPS lettering to create an editing bulletin board that you can reference throughout the year. 
  • Use the small checklist as an individual reference chart. Students can paste the pocket-size checklist on the inside cover of their writing notebook or journal.  
  • Use the full page checklist to create an editing anchor chart with students. 
  • Add the digital checklist to your Google Classroom for students to use with writing assignments. 

Teacher Tip: When it’s time to start editing, instruct students to proofread their paper four times, focusing on one of the four COPS criteria for each reading. This will make the editing process more manageable and less overwhelming for students.
