Peer Review Recap for Writing Technology Invention Essay on Google Docs

Jeff and Beth and I were in one group for the peer review project. I found their comments about my 1st draft helpful. Beth advised me to not make so many short and choppy sentences (although they are complete sentences). I didn't realize I was writing so many. In fact, Strunk and White advise against this also. Jeff advised me to expand on my ideas and use actual quotes from our readings. I had referenced three of the writings in this draft, but just gave a general overview of what the writing is about. I agree I should use actual quotes also. Actually, I had already made several changes to my draft stored in my personal home computer. I also had a lot of typos. But all of my drafts have typos. They will be corrected.

Jeff and Beth said they liked how I explained my project. I just need to flesh out my ideas more.
I don't think either was overly nice or overly negative in their review. I found their feedback useful.
