james w,I really liked your story and your use of expressive vocabulary. I especially liked the use of dialog between matt and ben on page 4. however i think you could have used more qualifiers and connectives.

I really like how you had a conversation between two people. I also like how you include all the different activities that you like to do.
You could have included the future tense, but overall I enjoyed your story.

I really enjoyed reading your story as you used a variety of vocabulary and there was also good use of positive an negative opinions. For example you say ‘!Me encant hacer natación porque es muy barato!’ and ‘Odio hacer atletismo.’ The only thing you could do to improve it would be to add some things other people in your family do.

Fred, I really enjoyed reading your Storybird. I like the way you leave why you ‘do’ or ‘don’t’ like to do things. For example ‘porque es aburrido y poco divertido’. Your language is very versitile using language we have learnt in class and some that you have gone and learnt yourself.
At the end I liked the way you asked a question to the reader. However you could use some more linking words to make your story sound better and, i know that i’m not one to talk, make your pictures that you choose more relevent to the story!

I really enjoyed reading Ismail’s great story. He used a good technique of a converstaion, this worked very well. He also used good time expressions of when he does things. He could add in more linking phrases like tambien. Overall his story was very good!
