Planet Report Editing Checklist
Read the draft, then complete each editing task. Check for clear facts, formal wording, accurate details, and correct sentence conventions. Use the checklist at the end on your own planet report.
Read the draft
A draft is a work in progress. Some sentences below need editing.
1.Read this draft: “Mars is a rocky planet. I think it is the coolest planet. My notes say Mars has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos. I would love to visit it because it looks red.” Which words make the writer’s personal viewpoint especially clear?
- I think and I would love
- fourth and Sun
- two and small
- Mars and moons
2.Classify this sentence from the draft: “I think it is the coolest planet.” Explain what makes it an opinion.
3.Which sentence gives a checkable fact about Mars?
- Mars is the coolest planet.
- Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun.
- Mars looks more exciting than Earth.
- I would love to visit Mars.
4.Rewrite this sentence so it sounds objective and does not use first-person wording: “I think Mars is the coolest planet.” Keep the main topic, but replace the opinion with a fact about Mars.
5.Which sentence starter best introduces reliable information in a planet report?
- I feel like...
- Everyone knows...
- According to NASA, ...
- The best planet is...
6.Edit this sentence by correcting its capitalization and punctuation: “mars has two moons named phobos and deimos”
7.Which sentence is a subjective opinion rather than a checkable fact?
- Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun.
- Mars has two moons.
- Mars is the most beautiful planet in the solar system.
- Mars is often called the Red Planet.
8.Write one clear fact about a planet without using “I,” “my,” or “me.” Include the planet’s name and a detail that could be checked in a reliable source.
Your editing checklist
Use these steps when you edit your own planet report.
9.Mark each step when you complete it: read the whole report; circle first-person words such as “I,” “my,” and “me”; identify opinions; replace unsupported opinions with accurate facts; verify facts with reliable sources; check capitals and end punctuation.
