"Good morning, everyone! Today we are going to talk about something very important in writing: making corrections. Can anyone tell me why it's important to correct our writing? (Pause for responses.) That's right! Making corrections helps us communicate our ideas clearly and ensures that our readers understand what we mean. So, let’s get started!"
"Now, I want each of you to take a worksheet that I've handed out. On this worksheet, there are some sentences with mistakes. Your task is to read through the sentences and underline the mistakes you see. Take about ten minutes to identify as many mistakes as you can. You can work quietly and concentrate — off you go!"
"Time’s up! Now, I would like you to form pairs with the person sitting next to you. In your pairs, share the mistakes you found on your worksheets. Discuss how you would correct them together. Remember, it’s important to communicate and listen to each other. I will give you 15 minutes for this activity. Let’s get correcting!"
"Well done, everyone! You all did a great job working together. Now, let's take a quick break to refresh ourselves. I want you all to stand up, and we will do some stretching. Reach up high to the sky! Now touch your toes! Let’s shake our arms and legs to get the blood flowing! (Lead simple stretches or a quick game for a minute or two.) Great job! Now, let's get back to our writing!"
"Now that we are back, let’s come together and discuss some of the corrections you made in your groups. I will call on a few pairs to share one mistake they found and how they corrected it. Remember to raise your hands if you want to share. Let’s focus on a few common mistakes — what did you notice? (Encourage responses and guide the discussion on common errors.)"
"Excellent work, everyone! Now, I have another set of sentences for you to correct on your own. Take this new worksheet and spend five minutes correcting the sentences. Remember to think about what we discussed today when making your corrections. Go ahead!"
"Fantastic job today, everyone! You’ve all worked really hard on making corrections. As a summary, remember that checking your work is essential to help your reader understand you better. For your homework, I’d like you to write five sentences and then correct them, just like we did today. Bring your homework back to class for me to check. You won’t present it, but make sure you do your best! Have a lovely day, everyone!"

Let's all stand up and move around,
Here are some exercises to get our heart sound!
First, we’ll stretch tall, reaching high,
Then touch our toes, let out a sigh.
Arm circles wide, both left and right,
Now let’s shake it out, all feeling light!
March in place, bring knees up high,
Then side to side, let’s wave goodbye!
Jumping jacks now, one, two, three,
Feel the energy; we’re wild and free!
A little hop, bounce up and down,
Smiles all around, let’s lose the frown.
Breathe in deep, hold it, then let go,
Looking energized, let’s keep up the flow!
One last stretch, twist side to side,
Feeling refreshed, now let’s take pride!
