Using the thesis statement of why social media is harmful to children under the age 16 and the sources from your Annotated Bibliography (also on the subject of social media usage in children), you will create a 2-page “Letter to the Editor” to persuade the target audience of your point of view(that heavy usage of social media in children and adolescents is harmful).

b. Ask the AI to evaluate your letter from that perspective:

i. Was it convincing?

ii. What parts were strong?

iii. Where are there weaknesses or holes in the argument?

3. Revise and Reflect

a. Revise your letter using the AI’s feedback to strengthen your argument.
