draft feedback
I enjoyed reading your essay! As I worked to review what you’ve written so far, I was pleased to see you working to incorporate your research into your argument. Nice job.
You did well introducing your topic in your introduction. Ask you work toward your final draft, I’d like to see you work to clarify your thesis statement, since right now you have a purpose statement rather than a thesis statement. . Your thesis statement should be your main argument, which means that it should be an arguable assertion (based upon your synthesis of the scholarly research you conduct) that each of your body paragraphs work to support. I’ve offered feedback in the markup to help you as you work to refine your thesis.
I like that you worked to offer specific solutions to bullying and that you have offered evidence to back of many of your points. Continue to strengthen your paragraph structure to ensure that each body paragraph is structured to support your thesis. Ensure that you are crafting strong topic sentences that parallel the supporting ideas you preview in your thesis statement. Section 2.2 of your textbook has some excellent advice on body paragraph structure, including crafting strong topic sentences that serve as the claims that support your thesis statement. You may also find this webpage on good paragraph structure useful.
One of the greatest strengths of your paper was that you worked to include real-life examples to illustrate your points. Doing so helps your readers follow your line of thinking, so nice job! I would recommend adding an additional paragraph that discusses the counterargument, which is the perspective that disagrees with your own. What merits does the counterargument have? What research supports it, and how might you refute it? Showing your readers that you have carefully considered the counterargument signals to them that you have approached your research with an open mind.
You did well including in-text citations for your quotes and paraphrases. I was happy to see that you are working to format your document per APA 6th edition guidelines. Your formatting and in-text citations had a few minor errors, of which I commented on in the instructor markup. Please view my comments and any resources I’ve suggested. Then, let me know if you have any questions and I’d be happy to try to guide you further. 🙂
Since you submitted your draft late, your grade is: 8.172/10.
Best,
Mrs. Michael
