For Katrina

        How does the intro section prepare you for the argument? How effectively does it frame the proposal or thesis that is debatable?

Yes, Katrina has a great intro section because not only did she mention the problem but also proposed a solution to the problem. Her proposal is effective but it is also debatable.

 

  1.         Does the essay identify a specific problem and offer proper solutions?

Yes, the essay identifies the problem and offers some solutions to the problem. 

 

  1.         Consider the writer’s use of evidence. Is it appropriate? Does the author address counterarguments/counterclaims?

Yes! The use of evidence are appropriate for this essay but I hope that there is more evidence used. Katrina didn’t really have counterclaims, but I can see why she might not.

  1. Do title page, in-text citations (modeling quote sandwich?), and References properly follow APA format?

So far she only included one quotation example and it was partly in-text correctly. However, I hope she uses more pieces of evidence and might include more in-text citations. The References aren’t properly cited because they are still links right now.

  1. How effective is the conclusion? Does it do more (i.e. reflect on the learning by doing this assignment) than simply restate the content of the essay? How might it be improved?

There is yet to be a conclusion, but I think Katrina will write one soon.

1) How does the intro section prepare you for the argument? How effectively does it frame the proposal or thesis that is debatable?

The introduction section is well done because not only was the argument clear but also stated what she is proposing. Though, I suggest Mya to work on in-text citations.

2) Does the essay identify a specific problem and offer proper solutions?

 Yes, it does identify the specific problem but I didn’t see any proper solutions to the problem. 

3) Consider the writer’s use of evidence. Is it appropriate? Does the author address counterarguments/counterclaims?

Yes it is appropriate but I don’t really see any counterclaims.

4) Do title page, in-text citations (modeling quote sandwich?), and References properly follow the APA format?

Yes most of them do except some in-text citations. 

5) How effective is the conclusion? Does it do more (i.e. reflect on the learning by doing this assignment) than simply restate the content of the essay? How might it be improved?

The conclusion is clear and it restates the claim.
