Ok guys, this is closed up! I am traveling today so I won't be able to grade them today, but I will try my best to do so tomorrow!

Hello champions! The results are in!

- you received the full 40 points! I loved that you did not go with the obvious potion choice for the nose. Good thinking!

- you received the full 40 points as well! I loved your reasoning for the ooze - I never would have thought to think of an allergic reaction!

- you received 39 points for this task. I had to take off a point as you had a few typos and a few punctuation errors. Lovely idea for burning off the scales though!

- you received 38 points for this task. You received 6 points for style instead of 8, as the formatting of your entry was a little bit difficult to follow. Not sure if this is just because of the spacing between paragraphs or if some of the lines were meant to be all part of the same paragraph. Please feel free to sMail me if you'd like to discuss. I really like your character's personality and voice though!

- you received the full 40 points! I love how you even took into consideration how your volunteer's speech would be altered by her ailment.

- you received the full 40 points! If I could give you more, I would!! I am totally in love with your writing style, and your ideas were lovely as well. I love that you silenced your victim volunteer! I legitimately laughed out loud.

Everyone did a wonderful job creativity wise, I am so proud of you!! I can't wait to see your entries for the next task.

Just a heads up, I decided that I was going to be super duper lenient on comma usage, since it is always a difficult convention to grasp and can be debatable. I will not harshly judge comma usage for the rest of the tasks either.

[edit]After some more consideration, Anne's score has been adjusted to 40.
