1. Which tense is the most prevalent in your draft?
As you can see from this list, I definitely used present tense the most in this draft.
2. What effect or tone/quality does the current usage of tense have on the reader/viewer/listener?
I think that using present tense in my draft shows the reader that this controversy was recent and that the issues are still prevalent and the issue is still going on. Therefore, I personally do not think that it would make sense to write about the issue in past tense.
3. If you're using more than one tense in the draft (which is not a bad thing at all), do the shifts between different tenses in the piece make sense?
A lot of the past tense I used was to talk about what people said or what happened before the controversy so I feel as though it flows nicely together.
4. If you have not employed any present tense verbs in your piece - why not?
I did use present tense in my draft so n/a.
