Below you can find his first draft then the revised version we discussed and edited in class. (This is how we <a href=\"https:\/\/dreyercoaching.com\/beardeddragonmedia\/english\/writing-classes\/\">teach writing online with DreyerCoaching.com<\/a>: we give the students a topic, they write at home, in the next class the student reads it aloud, we see the essay via &#8220;share screen,&#8221; then the teacher and classmates give suggestions, which the student edits in real-time.) A few of my thoughts:<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">1. &#8220;There were dramas&#8221; as a plural sounds like lots of plays on the stage, so we changed it to singular: &#8220;there was drama.&#8221;<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">2. I like the use of the colon (:) after &#8220;everywhere.&#8221; He used &#8220;celebrating&#8221; and &#8220;protesting&#8221; in the present tense, because these are still going on as he wrote.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">3. Good use of two commas with &#8220;Trump, the president-elect,&#8221; because that is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishgrammar101.com\/module-9\/verbals-and-phrases\/lesson-8\/appositives-and-appositive-phrases\">appositive phrase<\/a>, renaming &#8220;Trump.&#8221;<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">4. We say &#8220;on the East and West Coasts,&#8221; capitalized as geographic place names.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">5. Good play on words: &#8220;Trump&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vocabulary.com\/dictionary\/trump\">trumped<\/a>&nbsp;Clinton in the Electoral College.&#8221;<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">6. &#8220;favour&#8221;&#8211;British spelling<br \/>7.&nbsp;O<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">verall, this student hit on several key points in a short paragraph: the surprise nature of Trump&#8217;s victory; Trump&#8217;s win of the Electoral College while Clinton won the popular vote; the unexpected role of minority and women voters, the shocks of the Northeast and West Coasts. I was impressed that the writer understands the US election this well&#8211;from a distance of 8,000 miles away in Taiwan, as a high school student!

There are a few surprising facts that would make you ponder about the nature of democracy and the phenomenon seen in this election. First, Donald Trump won the Electoral votes 279 to 228. However, Trump lost the popular vote by two hundred thousand votes. Also, Trump won much more minority and women votes than expected. In comparison, Clinton did not win enough minority vote to convert some of the states into her <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">favour<\/span>.
