Twaun - First, I would like to say that I really like your answers being posted in a different color than the question. It really makes reading this a lot easier. Your answer to numbers 4 and 6 are really well done. Not only do they show that you researched the information, but you added your own thoughts and opinions to answer the question.
There are a few corrections that you will need to go back and make to this assignment to make the grade that you deserve. First, The actual questions to numbers 3 and 4 are missing the beginnings. Please go back and correct this and be aware of this on future assignments. Second, all of these questions should be answered with at least one paragraph. only answering with a sentence or two does not make a paragraph. Questions 1, 2, and 3 need this correction. Question 5 asks for advantages and dis advantages (plural of each). You will need to list more than one for each of these. Finally, there is an error in your answer to number 1. All insects are made of chitin.
You will need to make all of these corrections. When you do, your grade will drastically improve.
