Ask the class to discuss how the work is different from handwritten work, eg it is easy to read, there are no spelling mistakes, the corrections cannot be seen, the author can't be identified just by looking at it. Discuss which is easier to read. Discuss who reads their work, eg teachers, peers, parents.
