Children's Story Feedback for Friends

1.  Copy and paste the text of your classmate's story into a Comment on his/her post (find your name in the groups below to see who you're working with).

2.  Add at least three notes directly into the text suggesting places more detail or description could be added--your suggestion could be in the form of a question or a direct instruction (put your suggestion in parentheses and highlight it with a different color).

3.  Use the strike-through button ( ABC on the tool bar next to the B I U) to indicate any extra narration or wordiness you think the story could do without--remember kids' books rarely ramble. 

4.  Correct or mark any typos, misspellings, punctuation mistakes, and other errors to the best of your ability.

5.  Write a note to the author at the end naming 2 specific things you think are working well or that you enjoyed in the story.  You could also offer ideas for an ending or places to expand if the draft is incomplete.  End your note with some words of ENCOURAGEMENT.  

6.  Copy your comment and paste it onto a New Post on your own blog titled "Children's Story Feedback for Friends."

7.  Repeat these steps for the other writer in your group.

8.  Take a look at the feedback on your own story and see if you have any other questions for your group.
