Spot the Error

Students are presented with two sentence options-only one with correctly placed brackets around a grammatical error. Their task is to check the accurate sentence that uses brackets to identify an error like [sic]. It tests understanding of how to annotate mistakes without changing original quotes. This is a punctuation-focused editing task.

This worksheet boosts proofreading accuracy and citation integrity. Students learn how to respectfully signal errors in original text while maintaining credibility. It reinforces attention to textual details and reinforces rules about editorial brackets. The practice is valuable for critical reading and research writing.
