My Writing Success Criteria
Use this checklist while you plan, draft and improve a short report about a space mission. Tick a box only when you can find evidence in your own writing. Then complete the editing challenges.
My writing success criteria
A strong report helps its reader understand what happened and why it mattered.
☐ Use a capital letter at the start of every sentence and a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark at the end.
☐ Use capital letters for proper nouns, such as Wiremu, Keira, Losa and the planet Mars.
☐ Join ideas with a suitable coordinating conjunction: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
☐ Add a relative clause beginning with who, which or that to give extra information.
☐ Choose punctuation that suits my meaning, including commas, apostrophes, colons or speech marks where needed.
☐ Organise related ideas into paragraphs and use clear subheadings.
☐ Proofread for spelling, punctuation and grammar errors.
☐ Improve at least one sentence or detail, even if I cannot find a mistake.
1.Keira types this hurried mission update: “wiremu checked the oxygen tanks but one gauge was flickering we paused the launch because safety comes first” Rewrite it as two correctly punctuated sentences. Keep the meaning.
2.Complete the sentence with the best coordinating conjunction: “The crew wanted to send a signal, ___ the storm blocked the antenna.” Choose from for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
- but
- so
- or
- for
3.Add a relative clause beginning with who, which or that to add useful information: “Losa, ___, guided the crew through the emergency drill.”
4.Add commas where needed: “The rover which had lost power was pulled back to the lander.” In this sentence, the clause gives extra information about the rover; there is only one rover.
5.A mission report has two paragraphs: one explains the landing and one explains the crew’s next task. Write a clear subheading for each paragraph.
6.Rewrite this line with punctuation that makes the dialogue clear: wiremu said the signal is fading keep trying
7.Find and correct the three errors in this sentence: “On tuesday, the crew checkt the lander and recorded it’s temperature.”
8.Improve this sentence by adding a precise detail and joining or extending an idea: “The planet looked strange.” There are many possible answers.
9.Write a short mission update of 4–6 sentences. Include two subheadings, a proper noun, a coordinating conjunction and a relative clause. Then proofread and improve one part. Underline or label each feature so it is easy to check.
