1) I think I did a better job on writing paper two than writing paper one because I had a better idea of how to use evidence and how to outline my essay.  When I first started writing, it look me a long time to organize my ideas because the prompt was so open ended I didn’t know what specifically to write about, or make my argument about.  It took a little bit of time to figure it out, but I think I improved from WP1 because I learned how to organize my essay better by looking back at the highlighting activity. 

2) I liked yesterdays digital peer/reader review better than the hard copy one because I could more efficiently type my responses and be able to finish all my comments.  It was also easier to be able to click on a specific part of an essay and leave my comment.  Also, when correcting my final draft I could easily pull up the google doc of my essay and make corrections right where people wrote comments by, rather than trying to read of a piece of paper someones bad writing.

3) One helpful comment I received was just a few sentences pointed out that didn’t really make sense that I hadn’t realized before.  When I went back and read them out loud I realized they needed to be changed.  Its nice to be able to have a fresh set of eyes look at my paper to point out things I wouldn’t notice.  I also got a comment about making sure to explain the “so what” more which was very helpful to know tat I should explain that more.
