  1. I also chose this article. You did a really good job summarizing it using only the most important facts. This was such a sad article. Definitely not something I ever thought would happen.

  2. Grade: 8/10
    Mistakes
    • You don't need a comma before a "that"
    • The "Authorities said on Friday" should have been part of the first sentence, not the second. It doesn't read well.
    • Missing a possessive apostrophe on boy's
    • There should be hyphens here because it's a modifier to "baby boy": 11-day-old
