Grammatical structure
used: Past tense
The reason past tense
was used in my story was because I wanted you all to see that a story can be

Well done! I like your post and hope the party will be great. I am not sure about the game in the link. I didn't play it for very long, bout it might be hard for ELLs at the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading the party story. I loved how you including the vocabulary in your story.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed how the post was fictional! Changes it up for students.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used vocabulary words we take for granted such as "tableware" and "purchase" in addition to more complex words like "exemplary."
