10. NUMBERING CORRECTIONS Page 3

11. Numbering your corrections After you’ve tallied up all of the errors, you’re going to place a number going from 1-? on each of the codes I assigned. This will keep your corrections organized.

12. MAKING CORRECTIONS

13. Making Corrections After you’ve numbered your corrections, you must REWRITE the error rule on a separate sheet of paper. Along with how you will fix it. If you numbered from 1-20, you will have 20 corrections to make. You MUST write out the rule EACH TIME. This will help to ensure that you commit the rule to memory and hopefully lesson the offense over time.

14. Essay Corrections The corrections MUST BE HANDWRITTEN.
