BACK TO WORKSHEETS
When we evaluate, we are reading our writing and seeing what we can improve.
This means that we are trying to find ways to extend our ideas and sentences, adding in more imaginative language and checking that our spelling and punctuation are correct.
Evaluating our writing means we can change this sentence:
The house was at the end of the street.
Into this sentence:
The old, creaky house, that was covered in ivy, stood eerily at the end of the street.
Evaluating our writing gives us the chance to improve it and make our writing say what we really mean!
We often evaluate when we are proofreading and this helps us to make edits (change our writing to make it better!)
In this activity, we are going to be reading sentences, looking for mistakes in spellings and making the most exciting sentence or word choices.
Get your 'evaluating eyes' ready and let’s go!
