Present Fixes

Students read a paragraph filled with incorrect verb tense forms and must first identify the errors by circling or underlining them. After analyzing the mistakes, they rewrite the entire paragraph using correct simple present tense verbs. This activity builds strong editing and revision skills by requiring students to check for tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and sentence fluency. Because the story describes a daily routine, students must apply grammar rules to realistic, everyday contexts. The extended writing space allows for clear rewriting and reinforces mastery through full-paragraph practice.
