Jessica, when you wrote about your language and how it is perceived in different ways depending on the situation was great. I feel like it would be better if you talked about your colombian accent and how it differs from the Dominican accent.

I like your introduction, and how you mentioned the contrasting cultures of the Spanish language you speak. I feel that you could go more in-depth in what part of Colombia your accent originally came from, as well as some key differences between “Dominican Spanish” and “Colombian Spanish.” Lastly, I feel as if you answered all the questions of the essay (this is due to the fact that you discussed your language(s)/dialect(s), people’s attitudes/perceptions, and analyzed. With all that in mind, I would take a look at all of the criteria for a high grade on Mrs. Garcia’s rubric to see how you could add to the essay to solidify it even further.

Jessica, your draft has relevant points that you need to explain and develop with more details. Make sure to check my comments/questions and the rubric – identify/explain the language attitudes towards you Colombian/Dominican dialects and describe the factors that contribute to these attitudes.
