I can certainly relate. My third graders do the same thing. One activity that seems to get their attention is when I put a piece of student writing up on the overhead. ( I always ask the students first). We start by recognizing several things the student did well.( heading, spacing, etc.) Then we talk about what we could do to make this piece "even better". Then students point out things that are lacking. If you do it often enough MAYBE they will start self-correcting. You can control which errors you want to emphasize by which papers you select. I always try to keep a positive spin on this activity so students do not mind our help.
