Peer Edits
I edited Eric Ritacco's Editorial Cartoon and his position was clearly defined. He thought that lunch prices were to expensive and rising. I mentioned that I thought he should put a timeline of past years and years to come.
I also edited Andrew Meckley's Editorial Cartoon his position was stated through the text. He thought that the school was giving false advertisement about healthy lunch choices and made fun of it through the art work. I said he should give the main character some lines so it made more sense.
