- always begin your feedback with something positive (e.g. "I really liked your formatting!") then the negative criticism (constructive, naturally), then finish on a positive note. My teacher friend informs me that this is known as a 'criticism sandwich'.

I've been told the same thing (except I know it as a shit sandwich).
When marking primary school work we are expected to mark to the learning objective and not worry about grammar, spelling and the like unless they are part of the objective.
Oh and we can't use red pen.
