Homework Hints - Proofreading COPS


 

When you proofread your writing, call out the COPS

 

C = Capitalization. Have you used capital letters for the first word in each sentence? Have you used capital letters for names and other proper nouns?

 

O = Organization. Does each paragraph have the right time sequence or steps in order?

Overall appearance. Is your work neat? Do you have the heading in the correct

place?

 

P = Punctuation. Does each sentence have correct punctuation marks at the end? (.,?!).

Have you used apostrophes and commas correctly

 

S = Sentences. Did you use complete sentences? Did you use variety in the first words

of the sentences?

 

Are you proud of your work?
