โจFurther Learning:
โ Writing
- Izzy, this is a good first draft. For your next project, be sure to have someone else (whether it be a parent, mentor, friend) review it and get feedback before submitting it.
- I noticed how you listed your sources at the end. This is a good start, for the next draft it would strengthen your argument to cite in your essay which articles you got your facts from.
- Run the "Spelling and Grammar Check" tool on your draft
- Introduction: It sounds like what originally interested you in this topic was your own pet cats. Be sure to introduce the reader to what your overall topic is about in the intro.
- How to Write a Good Conclusion
๐ Content Feedback:
- The research you did on polygenes as it relates to cats is super interesting!
- As someone who doesnโt know a lot about cats, I was confused at first by what you said about how the color patterns only occur on the X chromosome. I was curious why you mentioned that since I assume that normally every cat has at least one X chromosome. You made me curious, so I did some research to find out that calicos are distinctive for their tri-coloredness, and then I understood why calicos are mostly female since they have 2 X chromosomes to display multiple colors. I think you could make this more clear in connecting the dots for the reader.
- I was also wondering what led you to this conclusion: โit's actually more likely that fur color is determined by attitude, not vise versa.โ I think this can be an opportunity for you to provide a further explanation or cite sources on this claim.
- I think the question you posed about autism in cats is an interesting one
- Overall I think you did a good job in synthesizing your research into your own words
