As their revising and editing practice for their final test in English, students at the Alternative Education Center, Odessa, TX revised and edited writing samples of students from IES Prado Mayor in Totana, Spain under the advisorship of Ms. Trini Serrano. The writing samples were from 12-year-old students who are in their first year of Secondary Compulsory Education. Titled "Now and Then," the writing samples allowed Spanish students to practice using present and past tenses of the verb in the English language. Alternative education students focused their revising and editing task on the usage of the past and present tenses to help improve their narrative writing skills.
