I start teaching 6th grade next week, and I still have a lot of preparations to make! Today I started pre-writing all the comments I will write on my students’ returned homework assignments and tests. The toughest part is knowing I can only use each of these once per year. I’ll need thousands, but here’s the first small part of my list:
Great job!
Perfect!
Half credit — didn’t show work
See me after school!
Remarkable improvement! Keep it up!
Explain….
Please apply yourself. You’re smarter than this!
Nice try. Lincoln never publicly commented on Douglas’ looks.
Pirates can be sea captains. Not all sea captains are pirates.
OJ Simpson ran for over 11,000 career yards.

The President was born in Hawaii. Lose two points.
Spooktacular effort!
I don’t know what it means, but Geronimo was never referred to as 1337.

Well done! Merry Christmas!
Your third paragraph is just a 125-word run-on sentence. -3
???? What is Quidditch???
Wonderful summary of last year’s Oscars race. Has nothing to do with The Resurrection of Christ.
Bravo!
This was an open book test!! Do better!
Statement contradicts your thesis. -2
Fine use of the Scientific Method!
