Hi Ariel, I just did my edits in bold so you could see my thoughts. Overall, I thought it looked good- just some sentence structure I would maybe change. Also, you can site without numbering ( ex. (1)) yourself... if you need help on how to do this let me know and I can show you! - Ashley

Hey Ariel! Overall I thought your article looked really good. While reading the draft I just had a few questions: Is the "background" section like the opening paragraph? Or are you planning on adding that later? What you currently have would work really well as the opener and then you could put different information in the background section about her life/school/etc... I see Ashley already mentioned it, but I also noted the Wrote "wrote "Decoding..." wording. I also think going further in depth about what her research entails would be really interesting. Or, expanding the classes she teaches and what they're about would be helpful to gain a better understanding of her interests. Lastly, expanding on her awards and honors would be helpful as well.

Again, overall I really liked it and thought it was well written! Ashleyhegeholz (talk)Ashley Hegeholz —Preceding undated comment added 18:51, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
