- Completed the Peer Edit Session for the Epic Hero Rough Drafts.
- If you were absent, you can have a parent/sibling read your paper and do the Peer Edit for you to catch up or find a student.
- Here are the questions below:
Peer Edit Directions:
To receive full credit, do a
thorough job on today’s peer edit.
·
Write your name on
a separate piece of paper.
·
Below your name,
write the writer’s name.
·
Answer the
following questions thoroughly, thoughtfully, and noiselessly:
1.
Examine the
writer’s thesis statement and explain if it is clear, direct, and includes all
of the POA points.
2.
Go through each (this will take awhile) body
paragraph and examine the following for clarity:
·
Topic sentence:
Does it include the POA point and does it tie to the thesis statement?
·
Did the writer
include a quote from the text that related to their POA point?
·
Did the writer
thoroughly explain the quote in a fluid way? This means that they didn’t just
pop a quote in their paper with no set up and no follow through. The formula
for introducing a quote is: set up the quote through explanation, give the
quote, and summarize the quote.
·
Is the writer’s
analysis of the quote and of their POA point thorough enough? Did they go in
depth enough with their argument?
3.
Transitions: How
are the writer’s transitions from paragraph to paragraph: offer suggestions on
how to make them smoother if necessary.
4.
Conclusion: Does
the concluding sentence for section D restate the thesis and all the POA
points. You should not have to go back and re-read what those points were.
5.
How do you like
the writer’s title? Did they do an effective job of tying it to their
argument-why or why not?
6.
Finally, offer the
writer three points of constructive criticism or things to work on for their final
draft and three compliments/things they did well.
***Staple your peer edit sheet to the
back of their rough draft and turn it in to the WHUM ENGLISH BOX; if you did
not finish the peer edit, then take the writer’s paper home and finish it and
bring it back tomorrow.
See you tomorrow!
Mrs. Johnson
