One of the best ways to find out if your story is well-written is to read it out loud, according to Steve Elliot, our instructor at the Reynolds High School Journalism Institute in Phoenix.
Check out this YouTube video, which shows teachers Eva Coleman and Michael Simons reading material that is obviously not well written.

This is a great exercise that I believe will work well in the classroom.
