1. Compliments We were all over my aunts house when my dog Riley was running around like crazy. He was chasing me around in circles. all of a suden I look and rile he was in the pool! swimming in my aunts pool. I couldn’t believe my eyes that the dog was in the pool. I dashed to the pool and jumpd in and swan over to Riley and pulled him to the steps. He got out and shook all over us like a sprinkler on a hot day. I was glad riley was o.k . and that I saved him.

2. SuggestionsGiving the author SPECIFIC ideas on how to make their writing better.

Be Specific. Be Helpful. Be Kind. Try to give suggestions on how to improve, rather than point out what’s isn’t good.

Instead of “It didn’t make sense,” say, “If you add more details after this sentence, it would be more clear.”Instead of “Your word choice was boring, say “Instead of using ‘good’, try the word ‘exceptional’.”
