Day at the Movies

This worksheet helps students in Grades 5 and 6 strengthen grammar accuracy by revising a paragraph that contains multiple incorrect uses of the prepositions at, in, and on. As students rewrite the passage and explain at least three of their corrections, they practice close reading, sentence analysis, prepositional rules, revision strategies, and written explanation while applying grammar knowledge within extended text.

Learning Goals

• Preposition Mastery (Grades 5-6): Correctly use at, in, and on based on location, time, and context.
• Editing Extended Text: Revise an entire paragraph for grammatical accuracy and clarity.
• Grammar and Mechanics: Identify and correct common preposition errors within sentences.
• Explanation of Reasoning: Justify grammar choices using clear, written explanations.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource: Designed to reflect real editing and revision expectations in upper elementary classrooms.
• Dual-Skill Format: Combines paragraph rewriting with metacognitive explanation for deeper learning.
• Context-Based Practice: Reinforces grammar rules within a realistic, connected scenario.
• Flexible Use: Suitable for grammar lessons, writing workshops, assessments, or independent practice.

This printable worksheet helps students build confidence correcting prepositions while strengthening revision and explanation skills. By editing a full paragraph and explaining their choices, learners improve grammar accuracy, clarity, and understanding of why correct prepositions matter. It is a no-prep resource that works well in both classroom and homeschool language arts settings, supporting thoughtful editing and strong language foundations.
