• Support Less Confident Students – Consider assigning specific sections of the editing worksheets to students based on their individual needs. Some may focus on sentence completion while others work on the grammar portion. 
• Extend More Confident Students – Consider adding an extension task where more confident students rewrite the edited passages using more descriptive language or create their own passages for peer editing.
