I can’t say I always knew who Kenny Rogers was. I knew about that one song that gave out bad poker advice, and vaguely about some kind of island in a stream, but I never grew to love Kenny for many years.

Erica, your article was cohesive and methodical. It used evidence effectively to demonstrate the problem in question and logically propose new information. It is critical to think about the massive amounts of incarcerated in America and life after prison, and you did a great job of demonstrating that.

Xavier, this article is thoroughly impressive. You used extensive objectivity and factual evidence tied in with your subjective viewpoint of the problem at hand.

Jonathan, you did a great job of evaluating and explaining the problem at hand then proposing a solution. The inclusion of previous trials and their success with this strategy really pointed to the potential and viability of this solution to texting and driving. Your train of logic and deduction was coherent and clear. I think your annotations…[Read more]

Jillian, I enjoyed the whole article. I love the extent you took to explain American creed and democratic values.

Thanks for taking the time to compare opposing viewpoints and articulate which is better in your view.

Hey Michael,
I like what you said. You made a lot of good points that we should care for Gods creation.
