Original Version:

Eastern tiger salamander are preparing to move to Maryland because they need a habitat like the wetland that are mostly in Maryland also the Female salamanders need a pool with out fish. The text states that Tiger salamanders can be picky about there pools the text also states that what stands out most to me is how they swim through their delavier bay wet lands. This text states that salamanders are fast in water and picky about there habitats that are wetland and pools.

Corrections:

Eastern tiger salamanders are preparing to move to Maryland because they need a wetland habitat. Female salamanders also need a pool without fish, which Maryland has.

      • Salamander should be in the plural form, as you are speaking about multiple salamanders, and it matched the plural verb “are.” This sentence was also a run-on sentence, so I split it up into two sentences. I also deleted “are mostly found in Maryland, as you already referred two what state previously in the sentence. I also edited the phrasing of the last sentence, as I thought the wording could be improved. Without needs to be spelled as one word as well.


The text states that “Tiger salamanders can be picky about their pools.”

  • It should be “their pools,” as there it’s a possessive pronoun, showing that the people have ownership over the pools. Also, make sure to name the text and the writer before introducing the quote. The sentence was too long, so I split it up into two. The next sentence is edited below.


The text also states that the Tiger salamanders stand out because they “swim through the Delaware Bay wetlands.”

      • I edited this sentence for grammar and spelling. I corrected the spelling of Delaware Bay and capitalized it. Also, “wetlands” should be one word.


Final version:

Eastern tiger salamanders are preparing to move to Maryland because they need a wetland habitat. Female salamanders also need a pool without fish, which Maryland has. The text states that “Tiger salamanders can be picky about their pools.” The text also states that the Tiger salamanders stand out because they “swim through the Delaware Bay wetlands.”

Good job! Make sure to proofread the sentence for spelling errors, and to use the correct form of “there.” Also, while referencing lines from the text, make sure to use quotation marks.

Corrections:

J.K. Rowling and her new website will help the kids while they are stuck home.

      • J.K. needs to be capitalized and spelt with two periods. I removed the “I” to make the sentence be written in the third person.


One way the website will help keep kids busy is the story it provides, as well as the puzzles that will entertain them instead of watching television.

      • I removed the personal pronouns so the sentence would be written in the third person. I also edited the sentence by rephrasing it and correcting the grammar. I also replaced “that” with “than” as than is used in comparative sentences.


Wizarding World claims that reading the stories aloud from the website to the kids could inspire them, and the puzzles could entertain them. This means that J.K. Rowling's website is interesting and entertaining.

      • When you are paraphrasing a source, you need to credit it. When you're paraphrasing the text (summarizing a quote in your own words), you don't need quotation marks, unlike direct quotations. I also changed the comma into a sentence, as without it the sentence is a run-on. I also corrected the spelling of the word “entertain.” J.K. Rowling needs to be capitalized and the letters of her initials need to be separated by periods. Her last name should also be punctuated with an apostrophe. The spelling of “interesting” and “entertaining” was spelled wrong as well, so I corrected those words. I also removed the extra space before the period.


This evidence proves how J.K. Rowling's website will help kids when they're stuck in their houses.

      • I changed the phrasing of the sentence to make it more formal. I also fixed the spelling of J.K. Rowling, and made the punctuation possessive, as J.K. Rowling is possessing the website. Also, "there" needs to be changed to "they're" as it should be a contraction of they + are in this context. You used the wrong form of “there” when referring to the house. When you are using it to refer to a person, place, or thing, you use “their.” Also, "house" should be in the plural form, as you're talking about multiple houses.


Final Version:

J.K. Rowling and her new website will help the kids while they are stuck home. One way the website will help keep kids busy is the story it provides, as well as the puzzles that will entertain them instead of watching television. Wizarding World claims that reading the stories from the website aloud to the kids could inspire them, and the puzzles could entertain them. This means that J.K. Rowling's website is interesting and entertaining. This evidence proves how J.K. Rowling's website will help kids when they're stuck in their houses.

Great work! Remember to proofread your writing for spelling mistakes.

Corrections:

There are many ways students can learn in an online class.

      • Good! The only thing I changed was adding the determiner "as" to the noun phrase "online class."


One skill students can learn from online classes is typing. If students don’t know how to type, doing their work on a keyboard will improve their abilities.

      • I edited this sentence for grammar. When you are referring to a person or group, you use “their” instead of “there.” I also broke the sentence into two, as I felt like it was a bit too wordy.


This is proven in the text, as it states, “that distractions will not be in the way of their learning this piece of text means they won’t be distracted by their classmates.”

      • To make the sentence into the third person, I removed the “I” and rephrased the introduction to the quote. When including a quote, it does not need to be in italics. Put quotation marks around the quote instead. I also edited the spelling of “their” and “learning.” Also, “won’t” is a contraction of “will not” so it needs an apostrophe after the letter “n.”


There are other ways that online classes can help prevent students from getting distracted.

      • This sentence was edited for spelling and grammar.


The text also states that “the students will not forget their schedules” in online classes.

      • I added quotation marks around the quote and removed the italics. I also added “in online classes” at the end of the sentence so the quote was given more context.


In conclusion, online classes will help students not get distracted and they won’t forget their schedules. Online is the right place for students to learn.

      • I edited these two sentences for spelling and grammar. I think if you started your ending statement with “in conclusion,” it would help indicate that you are moving on to your conclusion. I also fixed the spelling of “schedules.” In the first version of the sentence, where was the right place to learn was unclear, I added “online” to help give the reader clarity.


Final Version:

There are many ways students can learn in an online class. One skill students can learn from online classes is typing.

Overall, you did a great job! Make sure to proofread for spelling errors, and to use quotation marks around quotes.

And indoor basketball will keep them exerscized not only is it suitable it helps them get smart, exerscized, and it is in low price so it is fun and studying at the same a great inviormeant


The two ways postponing the Olympics will cause negative actions. I know itbecause I think that people that worked put all there efforts and now they cant use there new skills. Also it will cause a boycotts that will cause a pain for the cops and the citizen in the boycotts .I know this because in the text it states that and for the 11,ooo people that practice for the summer.It also states that it will be comlacated by the boycotts so it will be bad for the ateleats and the citizens that were looking forward to the games.
