TEACHERS RESPONSE AND WHAT NEEDS WORK--------

Nice work. This was a pretty open-ended assignment, but you covered most of the bases and have done a good job of drawing together information to support your points. The main concern here is that much of the outline reads as bullet points, and explanations are underdeveloped or, in some cases, absent. Make sure to develop all of your points thoroughly in the final version, citing your sources whenever you use them. Please review the assignment instructions for the resource requirements (concerning the use of scholarly journals). Your concluding paragraph should summarize the major factors determining ecosystem and community structure in ponds and lakes and what distinguishes these ecosystems from others. See in-text comments for a few additional notes, and let me know if you have any questions.
