Editing - Wednesday

Following is a paragraph with approximately 5-7 errors. Please copy and paste the paragraph into the comment box and make all necessary corrections. By the time you post your response, all corrections should have been made.

Please note: this paragraph will change daily. You must complete the editing process for two of the paragraphs this week. That means that you must do the homework on two separate days. There will be no comment back to another student this week, just the two responses. If you complete more than 2 responses, your top two scores will count.

Here is the paragraph:

All of us have a special skill or talent. That skill or talent may be drawing, playing a musical instrument, or excelling in a sport. For Mia Hamm it is playing soccer. Both Mia's athletic ability and her interest in the game was evident at a very early age she joined her first soccer team at the age of five and has focused on the sport ever since. At the age of fifteen, Mia became the most youngest player ever to join the U.S. Women's National Team. As the years passed, Mia's dedication to her sport continued to pay off. She won several awards, including three olympic medals, and was recognized as the U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year for five years in a row. It is hard to believe that when Mia was a baby, she has had to spend several months with her feet in casts to correct a structural foot problem. Could you be the next Mia Hamm of art, music, or sports? Anything is possible if you work hard enough.
