Giving students the opportunity to analyze and edit writing is important. This is a great activity to do on a class blog or as a morning starter. I always try to incorporate a grammar mini-lesson whenever I can. You can find great information on grammargirl.com
Try to make this activity more of a game than a busy work assignment. I like to give my students clues until they are more experienced with the editing process.
