Terrible Talent Show

Students read a short story filled with incorrect uses of bad and badly. They must rewrite the entire story using correct grammar, fixing every mistake. This exercise encourages extensive editing while helping students apply adjective and adverb rules consistently throughout a narrative. After correcting the text, students produce a clean, accurate version demonstrating mastery of usage. This activity builds proofreading skills, strengthens comprehension, and reinforces attention to detail.
