Explanation
When the marked essay is returned, the mistakes are looked at carefully. They are grouped into three: spelling (word form), punctuation, and style (using a word out of place, awkwardness). For every mistake the correct form is written and checked in the spelling dictionary. Then in three groups, each compiles a list of mistakes of one type, finds a solution and presents to the class. Asking the teacher about unclear points is also useful. Copy words you misspelt into your dictionary notebook in the correct form.
Worked examples
Spelling: ‘mexnat’ written instead of ‘mehnat’; punctuation: “Rustam bilan, Karim keldi” (extra comma); style: a pointless repetition.
Mistake table: mistake → correct form → rule → type. E.g. ‘mexnat’ → mehnat → written with h → spelling.
Class activity
Three groups: compile lists of spelling, punctuation and style mistakes and propose a ‘cure’ (rule) for each.
