Below are some tips on leaving good comments:
1. We use 2 stars and a wish (2 great things that we like, and 1 thing to improve on) when writing.
2. Make connections - If someone is writing about going on holiday to Spain, and you have been too, tell them!
3. Some good sentence starters could be:
I really like where you used '......' because......
My favourite part was .........................
It would be even better if ......................
4. Be specific. Don't say: 'Your spelling needs to improve'. Try: Check your spelling 'beutiful'
5. Check your comments through. Comments with i (instead of I), no capital letters or full stops suggest you haven't spent time on checking your work.
