___ Word choices. Can they be more exciting? Use a thesaurus and your “Be More Descriptive” handout.
___ What perspective is it? Could it be more interesting from a different point of view?
___ Is the tense consistent? Present / past / future
___ Are there enough supporting details?
___ Is there a conclusion? Does it match the writing?
Editing Strategies:
