  3. Awesome, Dylan! Thanks for sharing your work from the writing lesson. I like how you highlighted the new parts each time. My only feedback would be to check #5, as the ending is running off the page. It would be great to be able to read the sentence in it's entirety!

    I love to see this sort of development.. I am a bit of a creative writer myself. Your development of the writing starts to add interest as the complexity increases. I'd love to see what you would add next with this sentence. What might a next sentence be?

    1. Hi Mr Sutton
      Thanks for commenting!

      I think my next sentence would be why the dog was eating noisily eg. Last night, in the kitchen, the pig-like dog ate noisily because he hadn't been fed for ages.

      Wonderful.. you can see the richness developing in the story when you do this. What next?

    3. I am honestly not sure what to do next.

      I think if we add more to the sentence it would become a paragraph.

      But if we did add something else I think it would be what.

      Eg. Last night, in the kitchen, the pig-like dog ate mashed up chicken noisily because he hadn't been fed for ages.

      My apologies for not being clear.. I wasn't suggesting adding more to the sentence. I was wondering what a next sentence might look like? i.e., how could you continue the story? Great work...

  5. Awesome work Dylan. And great to see it recognized by your teachers. I didnt think our dog was "pig-like", but she does eat noisily!
