Learning to use a few, universal copymarking symbols can help writers to quickly edit their own and others’ writings. During this presentation, students will use copymarks along with the presenter to edit two short sections of text. The copymarking demonstration will be videotaped as part of a PowerPoint presentation. While students edit along with the presenter, they will also review several grammar rules, in particular, about passive voice and punctuation.
