  1. Review Your Research Portfolio:

    • Ensure that your research materials are well-organized and presented clearly.
    • Confirm that your portfolio addresses the topic thoroughly and explores different angles of how technology impacts people's lives.

  2. Revising Checklist:

    • Ensure your arguments are coherent and supported by evidence.
    • Look for transitions between sections and paragraphs to maintain flow.

  3. Editing Checklist:

    • Proofread for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.
    • Check for proper citation of sources and adherence to formatting guidelines.

    • Confirm that you’ve met each goal outlined in the rubric, including content, analysis, organization, and presentation quality.
    • Review your visual layout to ensure it’s professional and engaging.
