1. Look up the article on which the draft is based. Based on our discussion from Thursday, is this a scholarly article in the natural sciences? Explain your answer.
2. On Thursday we also talked about how thesis statements aimed at different audiences must address the "so what?" question differently. How does the original article answer the "so what?" question? (In other words, why does the research matter to scientists?) How does the draft answer the "so what?" question? (In other words, why does the research matter to your blog's audience?) If you have trouble with these questions you may want to consult the original article and/or discuss your thoughts with the draft's author.
3. Does the essay seem organized to you? Does the author present the information in a manner that is clear, logical, and easy to read? Do you feel more knowledgable after reading the draft, or do you feel slightly confused? Explain your answer in as much detail as possible and suggest at least one change the author could make to improve the readability of his or her essay.
