Ideas:

For an idea one of the papers I read asked for more advice on how to make their paper longer so I said, “You could add what art means to you. Do you like to draw/play an instrument, ect. Add that to the passage and talk about how different your life might be without it.” This allows the writer to put some of their own experiences of art into their paper.

 

Evidence:

One of the papers I read they talked about some of the EAs thoughts about art but they didn’t give quotes so I said, “To make this paragraph stronger I would add some specific quotes on what the EA said and their opinions. This will help support your claim and back up what you are trying to say.”

 

Organization:

One of the papers I read was very well organized so I left the comment, “Your beginning paragraph was very well written and you laid out all your main ideas in the beginning. The following paragraphs were in the right order and seemed organized. Your closing paragraph wrapped everything up and you had a good closing sentence.”

 

Global Edits:

Global edits was different for me because in highschool I never did that. While I think I was more used to doing local edits. I am more used to fixing grammatical errors and looking for spots in a paper to make stronger. Global edits allowed me to read through the passage quickly and to focus mostly on the bigger picture. Instead of focusing on the smaller errors we looked for just the main ideas to improve and gave back some helpful tips. Although I do like to help fix spelling errors, comma placement, ect. It was different to just ignore all that. Global edits was helpful because I learned how to back up claims, support them and argue them. I liked the global edits better because it made it more interesting for the reader and allowed them to just focus on the main story.
