This image represents how I felt while writing this essay because when I felt like I had enough words, and I explained myself to the fullest I can, I wasn’t in the word count. This affects how I write my essays because I have to figure out how much I can explain about my topic. My process from the rough draft to the final draft, personally, I feel like I did a lot better in the final draft. I am really happy with how I did because I feel like I explained more than I did and what I could. This writing experience was different from writing essay number 1 because I feel like I had more information, and explanation. I also related it to Covid and how working on laptops in class can affect students in their day-to-day lives. Working on laptops can be a negative and positive effect on how students look at their class work. They could either get distracted or stay on task, which can be hard being that they could go off task and browse their favorite clothing website, watch youtube or Netflix, play games or text their friends if they have a Macbook. Writing about laptops made me wonder how teachers switched, and some stay switched, to being all online instead of pen and paper. Does it make it easier for them? How do teachers make sure that all of their students are staying on task without embarrassing them in front of the class? Do they use a certain program to be able to close the tabs if they’re not on task? Between essay number 1 and essay number 2, the changes I have made were explaining more, getting more quotes and information, and adding more to what I have to say about the topic.
