Value Essay Comment Instructions

I would like your Value Essay comments to answer the following four questions:

I - What does the author seem to be saying about what is valuable, and what he or she most strongly values?

II - Which of the two objects/priceless moments described in this essay did you find were most vividly and clearly described? Reference one specific part, anecdote, scene, or description that you thought was particularly well done.

III - In general, what is one of this essay's overall strengths? It could be its organization, word choice, writing style, introduction, conclusion, etc.

IV - What is one piece of advice that the author might consider for future writing assignments? This should be phrased constructively (try doing ------- next time, consider --------) or inquisitively (what do you think would happen if you -------------?)

Comments should be about two paragraphs (6 to 10 well-written, informative sentences). Your comments should appear below the story you are responding to. When asked to choose an identity, click "other," then sign your comment with your first name and last initial. Comments not posted according to these instructions will be deleted.

I would like you to respond to a minimum of two essays per class (6 total). The essays will be up by the end of school on Monday, Oct. 15th.

* Please bring a printed copy of your comments to class on Tuesday, Oct. 16th, as I will check them then. Your classmates and I thank you for your valuable feedback.
Six comments = a "check"
Nine comments = a "check plus"

The object that the author, Jess Godek, strongly values is playing soccer. she seems to be saying that they love to play soccer. she also loves to score the winning goal. and all she thinks about is when are they going to play soccer next.

the object that she described vividly in her essay was her soccer ball. a scene that i thought was very well done was when she was talking about having a dream and making the winning goal for the team. her priceless moment was making the JV team. the scene i thought was particularly well done was describing how the played rugby to get to know each other. overall jess's strength in writing is writing in a very detailed manner. she gets the reader to want to read more.
