Deep Revision:
Edit returned name essay draft for organization by adding new hook.
Edit draft for sentence fluency by marking ALL of your sentences that begin with the subject of the sentence.
Using your notes on sentence starters, edit your sentences so that you have AT LEAST one example of each type of starter in your draft.
Add a new ending, perhaps one that "completes the circle" begun by your hook, or one that "unhooks your hook."
