Amanda I really like your introduction and how engaging it is since it starts with a question. I also like how you introduce your sources and their relevance.

I love all of the details you have in your essay; I just think the sentences could flow better. There are also some grammar errors.

When just a few words can define a dancers’ performance, skill, and even body, it can have a lot of toll on the dancers’ view of themself. (plural and singular mix up)
Themself should be themselves
Apostrophe changes

I really loved the pictures for your topic because they added to the overall message and gave extra information. The introduction paragraph sets up the topic well and I think the thesis sets up the entire essay well. I think all the examples of lying and how it can be done in multiple examples is also useful to know and gives good context.
What needs improving: In 50 words or more point out what your colleague needs to do to make their composition better.
I really like this essay and do not think there is much to improve. The sources at the bottom should have a hanging indent. Also, I think there are a couple sentences that have redundancy about what lying is defined as so maybe focusing on how it can manifest in lots of situations would make the essay stronger. The flow should also be looked over just to find the smoothest version.

I love the introduction and how everyone is introduced. There is also a good use of transitions. I like that people on campus got interviewed because it makes the video seem well researched and applicable to lots of people. I like that the people are not all friends too because it means there is a wide range of opinion. I also think the questions help lead the entire argument and make the whole video engaging and organized.
What needs improving: In 50 words or more point out what your colleague needs to do to make their composition better.
I really liked the entire video, and I think that maybe there could be a little music as background for the interviews just so that the entire video has a little bit of music and it flows. Maybe adding the peoples names that get interviewed would be helpful. I think making the transitions a little smoother could be helpful too.

The introduction is really good and emotional and does a great job at setting up the issue. There are lots of clips that show what being absorbed in technology look like. There are clear transitions and words also are used effectively for important points. I also like that there is a lot of data to back up points and makes a clear argument and adds supporting details.

Some of the monologues are quieter than others and are way louder so double checking that could be useful. Some pictures also seem added in a little randomly and a little choppy. Some of the points seem repeated like the point about dates not being focused on each other is said three times.

All of the points and shared information does a good job of proving your point and how technology does have a negative impact. I really like all the clips used actually show technology attachment.
