Rewrite essay.

1. Write essay by hand
2. Each paragraph uses at least one word from the "Descriptive Words" attachment, see below
3. Ten words from the "Transitions" attachment are used anywhere in the essay
4. Each paragraph has six sentences
5. Essay has seven paragraphs

Yesterday's assignment was focused on organizing and delivering content / information. Essays are practical, informative, and blunt--good job.

Today's assignment is focused on (1) improving transitions, (2) using descriptive words, and (3) creating a conclusion.

Yesterday's essay had the sound and feel of a recipe (which is good, it is functional, it works). Today's essay should have the sound and feel of an advertisement--well, not exactly the sound and feel of an advertisement but the writing should be more "descriptive" and "accessible" and "reader-friendly" and less practical, blunt, and direct.
