This worksheet is a "Daily Paragraph Editing" exercise. The goal is to find and fix mistakes in capitalization, punctuation, and spelling in the two paragraphs provided.
Here is the step-by-step correction for each paragraph:
Wednesday Paragraph
1.
"WEDNESDAY": This is a day of the week, so it must be capitalized. (It is already capitalized in the header, but good to note).
2.
"forever He": There are two complete sentences here. You need a period after "forever" to separate them. Also, "He" is already capitalized, which is correct for the start of a new sentence.
* *Correction:* forever. He
3.
"disney": Names of people and companies are proper nouns. "Disney" must be capitalized.
* *Correction:* Disney
4.
"peter pan, bambi": These are titles of movies. The main words in titles must be capitalized.
* *Correction:* Peter Pan, Bambi
5.
"people": This word starts a new sentence after the period following "years." It must be capitalized.
* *Correction:* People
6.
"when you wish upon a star": This is the title of a song. The first word and all major words in a title should be capitalized.

Thursday Paragraph (from the top section labeled "BIOGRAPHY")
*Note: Although the header says "Wednesday," the top text block is also part of the editing task.*
1.
"most": This word starts a new sentence after "things." It must be capitalized.

"some peopil": "Some" starts a new sentence, so it must be capitalized. "Peopil" is spelled incorrectly.

Final Answer:
Corrected Wednesday Paragraph:
Disney’s new ideas changed animated films forever. He was full of energy and over the years made many popular cartoon films.

Corrected Top Paragraph (Biography):
Walt liked to try new things. Most cartoons were only a few minutes long. Walt wanted to make a two-hour animated film. Some people said it was a bad idea but Walt believed in himself. He made Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The audience cheered at the end. As they left the theater, they hummed “Whistle While You Work.”
