1. "How many mistakes can you find? Skim all of the mistakes that you find in the passage." - The instruction is grammatically incorrect. It should be "Skim *through* all of the mistakes..." or "Find all of the mistakes...".
2. "It was spirit week at Indian Lead Elementary School." - "Indian Lead" is likely a misspelling of "Indian Head".
3. "On Monday, students were encouraged to wear their 'shodes' to school," - "Shodes" is a misspelling of "shoes".
4. "Tuesday was Hat Day, Wednesday was Plaid Day Thursday was Superhero Day, and Friday was School Color Day." - Missing comma after "Plaid Day". Should be: "Wednesday was Plaid Day, Thursday was Superhero Day..."
5. "Every one participated, and there were many Great costumes to be seen." - "Every one" should be one word: "Everyone". "Great" should not be capitalized.
6. "At the end of the week, Principal Roin gave a prize to the student who had shown the most spit." - "Spit" is a misspelling of "spirit".
7. "This year prize was awarded to Amanda Mitchell, when she beweared Amanda with the award." - "This year prize" should be "This year's prize". "Beweared" is not a word; it should be "presented" or "awarded".
8. "Principal Roin said that Amanda had been chosen because she was the only student in the school who had made all of her own costumes." - "Roin" is likely a misspelling of "Roan" (as mentioned earlier) or another name, but consistency is an issue. Also, the sentence structure is awkward; it implies Amanda made costumes for herself only, which contradicts the context.
9. "That’s the kind of imagination and can-do spirit that we celebrate and appreciate here site Indian Head Elementary! Mr. Roin said." - "site" is a misspelling of "at". The exclamation mark is incorrectly placed before the attribution. It should be: "...Elementary!" Mr. Roin said. OR "...Elementary Mr. Roin said."
10. The final question "How many mistakes did you find?" is repeated from the beginning and is redundant.
