  1. Cameron,
    I think that if you want to get more writing into your paper, you could divide III. into a few different paragraphs. For example, you can pick one example write a paragraph about it, why it's bad/good and what could be done to change it, and then pick another example to do the same. That way people see a lot of facts, I think the best way to write a persuasive essay is to let the facts speak for themselves.

    1. I would like to thank you for your feedback and the ideas that you gave me to improve my outline. I made some changes and added more to my outline and followed your advice about splitting up my previous paragraph three into a less vague and made it into two new paragraphs.

  2. This is a very good topic to argue about. There are so many different views on how it is effecting our every day lives. This is a very relevant topic and it should be a great read!

  3. I think it looks better after Kaylin's suggestions, Cameron! As you begin to write, always consider that paragraphs need to be split up into shorter, more concise paragraphs, rather than jammed with too much information.
