Revising: What is different? Effect? Rough Draft This past weekend I had the time of my life. First, Friday night, I had my best friend over and we made a delicious, mouth-watering pizza. After we ate, we had a friendly video game competition. On Saturday, my dad took us out on the boat. The weather was perfect and the water was warm. It was a great day to go for a swim. Revised Draft This past weekend I had the time of my life. First, early Friday evening, my best friend Myles came over. We made a sizzling, cheesy, mouth-watering pizza. The kind of pizza worthy for Instagram. Unfortunately, the greazy, pepperoni and bubbling crust looked so delicious we ate it too quickly and it burned the roof of our mouths. No matter, we laughed it off during the maddening, yet riotous fury of our ‘friendly’ Madden 2015 tournament. “You suck brah! Who taught you to play - your mom?!” Laughed Myles. “Watch it! My mom’s actually pretty good at this game!” I retorted. We both just busted out laughing so hard we couldn’t stop, tears rolling down our cheeks, stomachs aching in laughter.

Feedback “I like your use of imagery.” Is this good feedback? Why? “You don’t use dialogue.”
