  • As far as formatting remember to tab the start of each paragraph and include a page number on every page (except the cover page).
  • The overall organization of your paper is good. You clearly set up your evidence and back it up with really good commentary clearly explaining your points. The only thing I would maybe do is delete some parts of the story about Donald because it kind of drags on. 
  • You are missing a conclusion paragraph which I think would be a good opportunity to tie your whole paper together.
  • The topic is highlighted well throughout your paper the only adjustment I would recommend would be to maybe add some examples of tweets you found.
  • It would be interesting if you could explain your action verb graph a little more as far as what you noticed/trends/examples/if there was any overlap.
  • I think you could have added in more information about the overall Twitter community with your hashtag instead of bringing up hypotheticals like the one with zion in the discussion.
  • You addressed the overall topic really well in all your sections maybe just narrow the focus a little bit more on your examples.

  • The intro does a good job of giving background onto the subject, but try to take out some of the personal comments so there isn't as much personal opinion in it.  Also try to add more info on Twitter and how it relates to your topic.
  • It does a good job of staying on topic.  Try to put in your sources that can connect to the hashtag and the discussion.
  • The graphs are good categories, but maybe cut down on the number of action verbs to show more of a larger difference between some of the tweets.  For another chart you can also research their age or gender.
  • The essay is easy to follow, but make sure to add a conclusion.  You can also add more to your data analysis to connect back to your hashtag.
  • The overall essay is good, just try to remember to connect back to your hashtag and how it relates to the platform of Twitter.

  1. Analysis on Study:
    1.  You give a through description of the topic and it is clear what the debate is.
    2. Adding a tweet or two to “show” rather than to just “tell” 
  2. Twitter Connection:
    1. In the introduction, I would go into more depth on why this is talked about on twitter and what demographic is tweeting about it. It isn’t till the last sentence that it is mentioned.
  3. Figures:
    1. Count of Stance: combine “opposed” and “against”
    2. Action Verbs: Try to contract it into maybe 5 or so action verbs so it is easier to compare 
  4. Format:
    1. Indent at the start of each paragraph 
    2. Add a header with the page numbers except on the cover page
    3. Add a conclusion
  5. Good job! Just a few things should be changed to make this a great paper

I am going to add more information on my tweets and be more clear and concise with my thesis statement.

I will also add a graph on the gender of who's talking about this and make my conclusion statement longer.

I will tie my twitter analysis in more as well.
