Instructiоns:Use the pаrаgrаphs and checklist tо answer the questiоns below.Student Paragraphs:Paragraph 1: Social media can affect students' mental health. Students spend a lot of time online, often scrolling for hours without realizing it. Studies show that students who use social media more feel more anxious. Students compare themselves to others, especially when they see edited or perfect images. This causes stress. Social media is harmful for students.Paragraph 2: Another reason social media is bad is because it distracts students from schoolwork. Many students check their phones during class and while doing homework. This makes it harder to focus. According to research, students who use their phones more have lower grades. Social media is also addictive. Students don’t always realize how much time they are wasting. This is a problem for their education.Checklist:☐ Topic sentence is clear ☐ Evidence is included ☐ Evidence is explained ☐ Uses transitions ☐ Connects to thesisQuestions:Identify 2 places where transitions are missing (one in each paragraph) and write one transition you could add for each.Is each paragraph mostly summary or analysis, and why?Identify one place where evidence is not explained well and explain what is missing.Identify one unclear or weak sentence and explain why it needs improvement.Which 2 checklist items are weakest overall, and why?
