Possible ELA lessons?

What issues did you see when you were reading and grading the short stories? I heard many complaints from you as the judging was happening!

Please brainstorm ideas on issues that you saw. You can post a sentence or two relating the problems (spelling, grammar, etc).

Please use proper English ... no abbreviations or texting language!

Thank you.

I saw many problems with grammar, spelling, there was some confusion with the context of some of the stories i read

Some stories had spelling errors and didn't have a stable plot throughout the story

I saw a lot of problems with grammer, and usually had a confusing plot, that went off topic. Some stories were also pretty short, and didn't go in detail at all.

Some of the stories had several spelling errors and did not make much sense.

A lot of them were confusing with the story line, And some just dragged on. Words were spelt wrong and wrong words used.

The problems with the short stories were the lack of detail, grammar, information, & spelling.

Most of the stories were poorly put together. Some had a plot that kept going off topic, some stories didn't even make sense. Almost all of the stories had spelling errors and were very frustrating to read.

The grammar in these stories were terrible, and therefore made it seem like a chore just to read them. The plots of the stories also seemed confusing and didn't seem to follow a specific train of thought.

Some stories had no to little plot. Many were very had to follow due to grammar, usage and mechanics of the words they were using.
Some of the stories jumped too much and made the reading difficult to understand.

Many of the stories had either too many ill-made errors in grammar, while others had failed to either have a plot or the main ideas of them had been thickly spread all over the place which had made it 2 or 3 times harder to understand just where it was going to. Even one of the stories that was used was made in nothing but caps lock which was a major mistake on its own. All in all, there was too many mistakes made in the stories themselves.

I liked the general ideas in some stories, but the poor grammer and spelling made it hard to show any details about the ideas.

A lot of the stories weren't in chronological order. VERY confusing. Also, spelling and grammar are two things that should be worked on.

The stories were very general. Everyone seemed to have good ideas, but they weren't always expressed in detail. Grammar was (upon other things) also a very big contributing factor as well as spelling. Other than obvious mistakes, people should exercise their english more often.
