Amelia Earhart Biography - Find the Mistakes

This worksheet contains a short biography on the life of Amelia Earhart who we study about in our flight unit. The mistakes cover both spelling and punctuation problems as well as grammar issues. The final section involves a word search puzzle with key words from the text.

The children take on the roles of a teacher in this exercise as they attempt to find as many mistakes in the biography as they can. They are also encouraged to make corrections. Try and big up the role reversal aspect with some acting for greater engagement in the activity. Children also enjoy using highlighters or red pens for this.
