Reflection on open letter draft

I peer-reviewed Bailey and Joy's  open letters.

I will now answer the questions in the revision process section of A Student's Guide:

I think that I did do a good job of demonstrating my ability to think about my writing and myself. I provided analysis, concrete examples, and why I made certain choices.

The peer reviews that I got helped me to narrow the focus of my letter and organize all the paragraphs around a central theme. They also helped me to realize that I need to include some more concrete examples and do a little more hyperlinking. I also had a paragraph about my time management and over-commitment this semester that I realized needed to be pared down and focused more on my central idea.

Draft of Open letter

Here is a draft of my open letter. As you read it, please pay attention to the cohesion of the different paragraphs. I feel like it might be a little scattered and not fit together very well. Thanks!
