Student comments (What are you pleased with? What do you need to work on?)
I think I did quite well with using punctuation correctly and accurately . I think I still need to work on my
transitions, and use paragraphs better. I tried to put my ideas in separate paragraphs most of the time,
but I could have improved my opinionated piece. I tried to use titles that were attention grabbing, and
original, but it was sort of hard to get both done. I tried to add in evidence of the themes of “of Mice and
Men”, but I could have done this a lot better.
