Comments on others people preposition projects

Valentina and Claudia Project Of and About prepositions

I was interesting because there was lots of pictures. I could have been more interesting if it had more information.   7

It was persuasive because it showed some examples of how to use the prepositions. It could have been more persuasive if they put more information on it to know what are they.   6

The word choice was good because they didn’t use random words, but could have improved if they used a different word choice.   6

The style was not very clear, but I think it was funny because of the pictures. 5
