  1. Taylor, thank you for finishing the assignment and for separating the topics into five separate posts so that I could comment. For number 4, the assignment was to "list two to four specific details that support the central idea." You only listed one. Also, I'm not sure you read the overview. You were supposed to read the overview of the article and not a specific article on the portal page. Also, could you write more next time? This is a bit thin. The purpose of the assignment was for me to learn more about your thoughts on these issues.
