Things to fix simplified:
1) needs half-page of writing
2) editorial format essay
3) fix spacing and gaps on paper
4) FYI NO OUTSIDE SOURCES
More in-depth of the professor’s comments on my rough draft if you could fix these issues:
“What you have written about the digital divide is good, but this draft is half a page too short, and the line spacing gaps throughout the draft make it even shorter. This editorial identifies an issue in contemporary society and provides both personal evidence and evidence you procured from what you have read, seen, and heard through various sources. Make sure to edit the form and structure of this editorial before you submit your final draft for grading next week.”
Here’s the prompt for reference and guidance as well from the Professor’s comments on the rough draft. I will also give an example paper of how it should look and be formatted for reference.

Prompt
Mindset addresses the different ways people in all walks of life address a variety
of contemporary issues with which they must deal on a regular basis. Reading and
discussing Carol Dweck’s book and addressing the many and various topics and issues
generated by study group discussions and class discussions should pique your interest
and make you want to express your thoughts on what Dweck puts forth in Mindset.
Your task for this writing assignment is to compose an editorial essay that you
might very well consider submitting to a newspaper or online publication as a way to
express your thoughts to others. Editorial essays typically do not include documented
sources and citations, so your thesis in this essay must be supported by casual
references to source material you have already encountered and to which you are able
to refer without doing any research. Your personal experiences supporting your stance
on the issue also become powerful supporting evidence.
Reminders
• Thoroughly revise the content and edit the form and structure of your rough draft(s).
• Submit a final draft that represents your best writing
