Reviewing Editing Skills- Year 5

Mrs Latham

Today, you have been editing your non-fiction writing about rivers. Here’s mine for you to practise your skills on. There are spelling errors, missing punctuation and other errors. Once you have proof-read and corrected the errors, you will also need to improve it.

Can you add:

  • a relative clause
  • parentheses
  • fronted adverbials
  • subject specific vocabulary

Rivers are flowing bodys of water that drain the land. they have distinkt features like beds and banks. The river begins in upland areas and flow downhill (due to gravity.

The river continues until it finally reaches another body of water. this is the mouth of the river. As the river goes on its journey it can bend and will avoid large objects like hills and very big rock.

the river is home to a lot of types of wildlife including mallrds and carp. Carp are big fish which were introduced to the uk in the 13th or 14th centuries. They are specially adapted for life in the rivers and are an important part of the freshwater enviroment.

    Rivers are flowing bodys of water that drain the land. They have distinctive features like beds and banks. The river begins in upland areas and flow downhill (due to gravity).

    The river still flows until it finally reaches another body of water. This is the mouth ( the end ) of the river. As the river goes on its journey ,it can meander- to bend- and will avoid large objects like hills and very big rock.
