Editing Exercises for the Business Letters Block

I really want to create a collection of grammatical and typographical errors for my Grade 6 students to find and fix as part of their Business Letters main lesson block... not from teacher-made worksheets, but from real life!

I run across them constantly, and have finally decided I am going to start to list them here. If you find one that you think a middle schooler could identify and fix, please share the link, the error, and the correction! This could be a very easy "bell ringer" to start the day.

Find and Fix

Oura Ring

error: "How's your energy today, are you up for some action?"

correction: semicolon, not comma (comma splice)

Back to the Roots Garden Toolkit (page 3 of PDF)

error: "Fungus, however, has a superpower of collecting nutrients from every available area of soil and delivers it to plants."

correction: delivering, not delivers AND them, not it
(remove the prepositional phrases from every available area and of soil to see this better)

error: "Plants in turn give Mycorrizhae sugar, it’s a mutually beneficial exchange!"

correction: semicolon, not comma (comma splice)

Don't Push the Button! by Bill Cotter

error: musn't
correction: mustn't
