Jenn's feedback:

"You have done a great job taking evidence out of the text and using it to support your points. You have also done a good job making sure that you use citations and that your essay is neatly formatted. Despite you writing an introduction, the goal of your paper is still somewhat unclear. It is not apparent if your paper is supposed to be focusing on the story or the issues with girls today. Throughout the body of your essay you appear to go back and forth between the two topics without creating a solid relationship between the two. Throughout the essay there is a minor number of punctuation, grammar, spacing, and formatting issues that need to be resolved. There is an inconsistency in the formatting of your citations. If you use a direct quote from an article that does not have page numbers you should include a paragraph number. Last, the formatting of your annotated bibliography is confusing. Typically speaking, for each entry in an annotated bibliography there should be a summary of the source. "
