Paragraph Negatives Rewrite

Students read a short paragraph containing several double negatives and rewrite it using correct negative constructions. They must ensure the revised paragraph uses proper standard English, maintaining only one negative word per idea while keeping the meaning intact. This extended writing task builds advanced editing skills and helps students recognize how double negatives affect tone and clarity in longer passages. A challenge extension invites them to write their own holiday-themed paragraph with intentional double negatives for a partner to correct.
