2. Keep going! Have you used
your checklist to guide your
work? Remember to include
x,y,z.

how you have followed
instructions and have added
your own creativity. Have you
considered adding captions to
your pictures?

refer to the success criteria and

like that they are complete, they
use awesome verbs, conjugated
correctly and you are beginning
to use really juicy adjectives. I
