When you are ready, post your narrative to your wiki page. I, as well as 2 of your classmates will read your narrative and write comments and suggestions on your page.

Remember, when you are commenting on someone's piece, focus on the person's use of descriptive language. as you read, can you imagine in your mind what they felt? Can you imagine what the setting actually looked like, smelled like, or felt like? Do the words make their story exciting? Give the writer feedback that will help give them ideas to make their writing better. Don't forget to tell thema few things that you thought they did a good job at in their writing too.
