Narrative Peer Review
Read the short story below. Then practise giving feedback that is kind, specific and helpful. There can be more than one good answer to the writing questions.
The Windy-Day Surprise
Mila hurried along the beach path, clutching her bright red kite. The wind tugged at her yellow raincoat. Suddenly, a gust lifted the kite high into a pōhutukawa tree. “Oh no!” she cried. Her little brother, Finn, looked worried. Mila took a deep breath and asked a nearby walker for help. Together, they carefully freed the kite. Finn smiled as Mila handed him the string. They ran across the sand, laughing, while the kite danced above them.
