Error Correction Challenge

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 to strengthen editing, revision, and analytical thinking skills by examining flawed AI-generated writing. Students read two passages containing clear mistakes, mark errors directly in the text, and then rewrite each passage correctly. After revising, learners reflect on whether the errors were grammatical, logical, or a combination of both, helping them distinguish surface-level writing issues from deeper reasoning problems.

Learning Goals

• Editing & Revision Skills (Grades 5-7) – Students identify and correct grammar, sentence structure, and clarity errors.
• Grammar vs. Logic Analysis – Learners distinguish between mechanical writing mistakes and flawed reasoning.
• Comprehension & Accuracy – Students rewrite passages to improve meaning, coherence, and correctness.
• Understanding AI Writing Patterns – Learners recognize common error types found in AI-generated text.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed by educators to support ELA writing, revision, and critical thinking standards.
• Hands-On Editing Practice – Encourages active marking, correction, and rewriting rather than passive review.
• Flexible Classroom Use – Suitable for writing workshops, independent practice, small groups, or assessment.
• Supports Diverse Learners – Combines concrete editing tasks with reflective questions.
• Technology Integration – Builds awareness of AI limitations and strengthens students’ editing judgment.

This printable worksheet helps students build confidence correcting writing errors and explaining their reasoning clearly. Learners practice improving grammar, fixing logical inconsistencies, and reflecting on different types of mistakes that can appear in AI-generated text. Ideal for classroom or homeschool use, this no-prep activity reinforces strong editing habits, critical thinking, and responsible engagement with AI-supported writing.
