My goal for today is that by the end of the period you all will be able to use Write Outloud to improve your writing. 2. Preview the vocabulary: grammar, punctuation, capitalization, homonyms, control c, control v- We need to have a common vocabulary to discuss editing and Write: OutLoud. 3. Proper editing of your written work is very important for your future. After graduation from OHS or college, having a properly edited resume could be the difference between being hired for a job or being out of work. Properly edited writings can be the difference between keeping a job and getting fired. 4. There will be times when you need to edit but there is no one, no friends, no family, available to proofread your work. But it can be hard for some people to see their own mistakes through reading alone. Since you made the mistake the first time you might not be able to see it the 2nd time. 5. Computer spellcheckers and grammar checkers can't necessarily fix every mistake you make. Computer editors don't know your intent so they might suggest a correction that doesn't fit what you really meant to say. 6. Write: Outloud is a text-to-speech program. This will turn your essay into an audiobook. It will allow you to look at your work with new eyes. Write: Outloud works best when used after using Microsoft word. Direct Instruction: 7:37-7:43 7.
