This task was the most difficult for me because it was very time consuming and to be honest, I'm not that great with active and passive verbs. So, I did the best I could. Below is an accurate representation of me completing this blog post.

1. Looking at the breakdown of your verb choices here, what do you notice about your current draft? 

What I notice is that most of my verbs are active general. The verbs I use the most after active general is active specific, and I used passive the least.

2. Based on this analysis, how could your use of verbs be improved overall in the project?

I definitely could use more active specific verbs in my project because I feel as though it would make my project stronger by describing more specifically what the stakeholders, and people involved in the controversy, are doing.
