Grammar and Punctuation Transcript

NARRATOR: Hi! My name is Lilly, and I’m a writer for my middle school’s newsletter.

NARRATOR: I’m currently working on an article about how our food service is trying to include more vegetarian and vegan options on the lunch menu.

NARRATOR: When I finish a draft of the article, our staff advisor, Mrs. Johnston, will help me revise and edit it. In the revision stage, we target big content issues. We ask questions like these: Does the text include enough facts and details to support the main ideas? Are the main ideas clearly organized?

NARRATOR: In the editing stage, however,

NARRATOR: we correct all spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes. The goal is to make the text as error-free as possible, just like the kind you read in professional articles. After all, our newsletter has a high reputation to uphold! Students, parents, and teachers depend on us for the latest scoop. Mistakes in our articles could distract our readers from the important topics we cover.

NARRATOR: To help the writers edit their pieces, Mrs. Johnston created a checklist of common grammar errors. We check our work against it. Some items on the checklist include making sure that our subjects and verbs agree. This can get complicated when things such as prepositional phrases, indefinite pronouns, and collective nouns are involved!

NARRATOR: We also make sure that we include punctuation marks such as commas and semicolons so that readers don’t get confused. The checklist even includes stuff such as using the words which or that or who, whom, or whose correctly—WHICH (ha!) can make your head spin!

NARRATOR: But when I finish editing against the checklist, I’m confident that my work is the best it can be. Only then will it be ready for the next newsletter. . . . Speaking of which, keep an eye out for my food-service article in the upcoming issue. It will make your mouth water, I promise!
