Interacting with Texts Peer Review

HW: FINAL DRAFT UNIT 3 DUE WEDNESDAY

PEER REVIEW
1. In groups of three, trade papers. For the first paper you read, simply think about how your classmate is going about this assignment, and what you might learn from her/his paper.

2. For the second paper, use a separate sheet to complete the following peer review:

A. How many direct quotations does the paper include? Is this enough? Suggest 2 more examples from GOOGLE or BLOG that they might include -- include p. #.

B. Looking at the quotations, do they follow the "quote sandwich" model? (Intro, lead-in, quote w/ correct citation, analysis/explanation). What could be improved?

C. How does this essay ILLUSTRATE, EXPAND, REVISE, COMPLICATE, and/or REFUTE arguments made by Carr / Sullivan?

D. What are the outside examples the student uses? How do they relate?

E. Does the essay start with an interesting claim made by the student-writer? Is there a more interesting / provacative way for the essay to start? What is it?

If so, how does the student-writer work to include Carr / Sullivan in the essay? Does the student-writer use enough from Carr / Sullivan?

If not, does the student writer eventually present her/his own ideas? Would the essay be made stronger by reorganizing to start with the student's own ideas?

E. Edit for clarity and small mistakes -- commas, run-ons, spelling, etc.

G. List questions you have about the assignment. Discuss as a group.
