Speech: Fatals

PROBLEM: We said the PTA meting took place in Grand Ledge when in fact it was East Lansing. (Grand Ledge was the city assigned for your homework assignment, and not this story.)

SOLUTION: Make sure we are carefully and correctly taking down information, and using the correct information in our work.


*****

PROBLEM: Within a quote, we said Americans when in fact it was America's. In another quote, we said let s when in fact it was let us.

SOLUTION: After finishing writing, carefully review all quotes in their entirety to make sure what we wrote is exactly what was said. Spell check wouldn't have helped here, since the misspellings created correctly-spelled but unintended words.
