Story Feedback Practice Worksheet

Read each prompt carefully. Choose the best answers, match the feedback, and write constructive comments that name a strength and a useful next step.

Recognising Helpful Feedback

1.Which three features make feedback on a story useful? Select all that apply.

It names a particular part of the writing.
It gives a kind, practical suggestion.
It explains what is working well.
It lists every spelling error without explanation.

2.A story is set beside a windy Wellington harbour. Which comment gives the writer the clearest, most useful feedback?

Nice story!
The harbour setting feels vivid because you describe the wind tugging at the characters’ jackets. You could add one sound from the water, too.
Your writing is confusing.
There are some bits I don't like.

3.Which comment combines a specific strength with a respectful suggestion for improvement?

Your character’s funny reactions make the scene lively; check that each new speaker starts on a new line.
This is perfect, so don't change anything.
You need to fix this.
The story is bad because the dialogue is wrong.

Writing Feedback Sentences

4.Read this story extract: “Rawiri followed the track through the bush. She saw trees. It was nice. They reached the lookout.” Write one helpful feedback sentence about how the writer could strengthen the setting description.

5.A story has a lively, believable narrator, but the verbs shift between past and present tense. Write one feedback sentence that praises the narrator’s voice and suggests a way to improve the tense.

6.An adventure story has exciting events, but most sentences begin with the same words and are about the same length. Write one helpful comment about sentence variety.

7.A story uses full stops and capital letters accurately, but readers cannot tell where the main events happen. Write one feedback sentence that recognises the strength and suggests how to clarify the setting.

Matching Feedback Focus Areas

8.Match each writing element with the feedback comment that best fits it.

Character voice
Setting description
Sentence variety
Punctuation

I can picture the narrow path beneath the tall trees.
The characters’ conversation sounds natural and believable.
Try changing how some sentences begin and mixing their lengths.
Check that each sentence ends with the correct punctuation mark.

9.Write a feedback sentence for a fictional classmate’s story about exploring a forest track. Include one specific thing the writer did well and one constructive next step. Make your comment kind and clear.
