So editing is in my blood. I edited my high school year book for three years, have a BA in English, and worked as an English and Reading teacher for three years.

This weekend I worked on a set of editing posters for my class. One of my cooperating teachers during my master's degree program told me about the mnuemonic device CUPS. It stands for Capitalization, Understanding, Punctuation, and Spelling. It helps the students remember the different areas to remember to edit. Here are some examples of what I put together. You can find two versions of these at my TeachersNotebook and TeachersPayTeachers shops. Shameless plugs I know!
