Every Day Edit - The Hope Diamond

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Young grammarians correct mistakes in a short paragraph about one of the most famous diamonds in the world, the Hope Diamond. The errors range from punctuation, capitalization, and grammar, to spelling. This would make a perfect seasonal activity to hand out at the beginning and/or in the middle of the year to help assess what your class might need to review.
