Editing Marks

Hey guys, this is miss Feliciano. Today in class, I've been talking about editing marks. And I'm gonna explain you. I'm gonna explain to you guys what the symbol is, what they mean, and give you an example. Because the camera is facing me and if I show you the board, you're not gonna be able to read it. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna read it from the core, I'm gonna explain it, and then after this video, I'm gonna upload the actual picture that I use for the information so that you have it. And everybody can have it. So the first one is the three lines that we use underneath a letter to make a capitalize. For example, they fish in Lake Tahoe, Lake Tahoe is a place. So therefore we ride it with capital letter. In the example you're going to see that it's written with a lower case. So we did the three little lines underneath the ladder to make those letters capitals. The next one is the slash. The slash means the opposite of the three little lines. It means that that letter has to be lower case. New school. For example, the students missed the class. In the example the word students, it's written with capital letter, but because that's not necessary, we put a slash on the letter S and it's meant to be with lower case. The third one is the circle with the letters S&P inside. That means that you have to check the spelling for that word. If when I'm correct in an essay from you, I circle a word that means that you wrote it incorrectly that there's a spelling mistake. For example, is that they were super hot. Super, it's written with Z and we know that super is with the letter S so I'm going to circle the word and in my case, I'm going to write the correct word underneath the circle so that you know how it's spelled. Number four, we have period. If you wrote a sentence and you forgot to put a period at the end, I'm going to do a circle and I'm going to put the period inside. For example, tomorrow is a holiday that is at the character of sentence and it needs a period at the end. Number 5, it's sort of like a cursive E which means that you have to believe or erase something. If the sentence has extra information that is not needed or has a word that is repetitive, we have to erase that or delete it. For example, Kim knew the answer. The word that is twice is repetitive. We only need it once. So we do that persist on top of the one that we are going to erase or delete. Number 6, it's like a triangle without the bottom. It's like a little pyramid. That means that we have to add something. For example, she went school. It doesn't make sense. You need an extra word. She went to school. So we put the pyramid and add two on top. She went to school. Number 7, we have the same pyramid, but with a coma inside. That means that that sentence needs to add a coma. In the example it says, he ate these horns and carrots. These are items in a series. We have to separate them with a coma, but it's missing from the example. So we add after peas, we add the pyramid and add the coma inside. Number 8, it's sort of like a squiggle. And what it means is that you have to take the order of the words. When we translate from one language to another, sometimes the order of the words change. For example, the dark in the leg swamp. El Pao in another. It doesn't make sense. It's not in the right order. So what we do is that we sort of like an amaze, we take the word to the place where it's supposed to be. So it would be the dark swamp in the Lake. This you're going to see in the little table that I'm going to give you with the examples. Number 9 is the symbol for number. That means that you have to add the space. It means that two words are together. And they're meant to be two separate words. So you put the little Simba for number and indicates that those two words you have to separate them. Number ten are parentheses, but up and down. When we use that symbol, it means that you have too much space and you actually have to close the gap or close the space. In the example, we have her favorite game is softball. Softball is written as two words, but it's one. So we put that symbol to so the person that's editing know that that is one word and we need to push it together. Number 11, it's like a feedback words and it means that you have to leave an indentation. Or that we have to make a new paragraph. If you were super inspired and you wrote like a paragraph that is ten sentences, but when I needed, I think that you can separate it and make two paragraphs. I'm going to use that symbol to let you know that from that symbol on it should be a new paragraph. And the last one that we have is like a triangle backwards with an apostrophe. In English, we use the apostrophe for either indicating that something belongs to someone. It's a processive or it's a contraction that towards can be squished into one. Like it is. And we use it apostrophe S so if you need an apostrophe, I'm gonna check it and if you need it, I'm gonna put that little triangle backwards and I'm gonna put the apostrophe to let you know that you miss that. And sometimes we can use that too with quotation marks. We put a little triangle and the quotation marks. If you missed it. So those are the editing marks. These are the ones that we are studying in class. And tomorrow I just gave you the theory of the information. And wait, today I gave you all the information and tomorrow we're going to practice it. So I'll see you in class and we are going to review our briefly and then I'm going to show you some exercises so that you can practice it. Well, have a good day and I'll see you in class.
