III. PROCEDURE
A. Preliminaries
✓ Prayer
✓ Greetings
✓ Checking of Attendance
B. Motivation
✓ Review the previous lesson.
The teacher will review the previous lesson by engaging students in a brief
discussion and asking the following questions:
1. What was the topic of our last meeting?
2. Can you give me the steps on how editing is done.
3. Why do you think editing is very important?
C. Activity
1. Fix the Flaws!
The teacher will give students five sentences that contain grammatical,
spelling, and punctuation errors. Students will edit these sentences and
write them on one-half sheet of paper.
2. Lesson Proper
What is Editing?
Editing is the fourth stage of the writing process.
This is where you refine your written essay to improve its
coherence, effectiveness, and overall quality for the last time. The
focus during this process is at the sentence level.
Editing is an essential part of the writing process to ensure that the
final paper will be able to meet the intended purpose and
effectively convey one’s ideas to their target audience through
proper usage of language.
Read each sentence carefully and assess its role in the paragraph.
Simplify complex sentences and replace jargon or overly technical
language.
Ensure consistency in word usage, formatting, and citation style
throughout the document.
Finally, proofread the entire text to catch any overlooked errors and
refine the overall presentation.
Examples:
Incorrect: She dont like pizza, but she eats it anyways.
Corrected: She doesn't like pizza, but she eats it anyway.
E. Abstraction
The teacher will ask the students what they have learned using the following
questions:
1. Why is editing an important step in writing?
2. What are the key things to remember when editing an essay?
3. In what ways does word choice impact the effectiveness of an essay?
4. How can technology (e.g., grammar checkers) assist in editing?
5. If you were editing a friend's essay, what steps would you take?
F. Application
The teacher will provide a problem-solution paragraph that contains grammatical,
spelling, and punctuation errors. Students will read and analyze the paragraph
carefully and write the corrected version on half a sheet of paper.
IV. EVALUATION
Peer Critiquing
Take out the written draft of your chosen topic from your previous assignment.
Exchange your draft with your classmate. Carefully read through it from
beginning to end. Edit the errors in spelling, grammar, word choice, writing
mechanics and make some corrections.
V. ASSIGNMENT
Revise your problem-solution essay based on peer feedback. Then, write a short
reflection (5–7 sentences) on:
1. What errors do you commonly make?
2. What did you learn from the editing process?
3. How will this help improve your writing in the future?
