Iva's feedback:

"The organization of your summary is logical: you start with an introduction that identifies your focal article and its main ideas; you summarize the six main points the article makes; and you conclude by reemphasizing the article's key ideas. However, there are two areas you need to address in order to make your content as strong as your organization. First, in summarizing the six potential detriments of social media, make sure that you are briefly explaining each rather than just listing what they are. You already do this for most of the items but are missing explanations for how social media impacts sleep and how it is linked to depression and anxiety. In a way, this is also true within your conclusion. To clarify, the conclusion is the first time you mention possible means of minimizing the negative impacts of social media when the conclusion should actually serve to summarize ideas you already discussed rather than introduce new ones. As such, since the recommendation is a part of the article, it should be introduced and discussed prior to being mentioned in the conclusion. Second, right now, your summary is a big block of text, which can look intimidating to readers. To invite readers in, divide it into paragraphs: an introduction, two body paragraphs (one on the detriments; one on recommendations for limiting them), and a conclusion. This will allow your summary to visually reflect the structure you already have and will have a better look than one big paragraph does. Finally, when you first introduce your article, you want to give the author's full name with the title rather than including an in-text citation next to the title (in-text citations go with direct quotes and paraphrases rather than with the title of a work)."
