Peer review editorial comments:

1. Proficient- Shows direct attention to the audience that the paper is focusing on (people who
are interested in helping the environment and those who have been affected by the plastic bag
ban). The audience could also be consumers of plastic. You have used persuasion; however
expand a little more on your counterarguments.

2. Developing- A few errors in some of the citations. If you don't use the authors name in the
sentence cite them at the end of the quotation. Look up the correct way to use APA formatting so
you can make sure all your citations are correct.

3. Proficient- the evidence you have given supports your claims throughout.

4. Proficient- Well developed thesis. Your topic sentences for each paragraph are direct and clear
in explaining what each paragraph is going to be arguing. Good transitions!

5. Developing- A few spelling errors throughout the paper. Some of your sentences seemed a bit
wordy. Try elimination unnecessary words that take away from the overall meaning of each
thought.
