Instructions:
Copy and paste the information above into your peer review. Read your
peer’s essay carefully, and then use the comments feature in Word to answer
the following questions. Be sure to save your peer reviews to your disk because you
will be required to turn in copies with your project folder. Also, keep in mind
that you are addressing the writer of the essay in your comments. Speak to your
audience.
All reviews must be received by
the writer before her scheduled conference in order for the peer critic to
receive credit. This requirement
means that peer reviewers must email reviews in a timely fashion, and it also
means writers must check email shortly before the scheduled conference.
- Do you have a sense of
why you should be reading the essay? What is it? If not, let the
writer know he is missing a “so what.”
- Does the student writer
use details and language to convey her observations in a compelling
manner. Where?
- Where do you see the
writer reflecting upon the meaning of his observations ?
- Does the writer use
information from the Gladwell essay effectively to help you see the
significance of the observations? Where especially?
- Where would you like to
see more of the writer’s thinking?
- Do you have a sense of
what all the pieces of the essay add up to? Where does the writer
articulate this sense clearly?
- Does the writer help
you get from one paragraph to the next so that you have a sense of
direction throughout the essay? Identify any places where you
get confused.
- Does the essay fulfill
the requirements of the assignment? If not, what would you suggest to
bring it into line?
- Tell the writer
anything that you think would be helpful for proceeding with this
work-in-progress.
