What's Up for Week 10?

NOT a good example of the type of critique you'll be receiving!

On Wednesday, we'll be conducting peer review in class. These are the guiding questions you can use to inform your critiques:


1. What question is the author setting out to answer? How does the author tie their question back to the discussions we've been having in this class (discourse)? Are those connections apparent?

2. What type of inquiry does the author engage in? Does the author clearly illustrate this? How does the author tie their inquiry back to their question? Do they analyze, or just paraphrase? How might this be improved?

3. What claim does the author make, in relation to their question? Is the claim original? How does the author support their claims? How does the author articulate the importance and significance of their claim? In other words, so what?

4. How does the author give formal credit to their sources? Check for parenthetical citations and a works cited page.


Critiques are due WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30TH


In class on Wednesday, you'll need to turn in the following revision plan:

• What did you learn were the strengths of your essay? Be specific!
• What did you learn were the limitations of your essay? Be specific!
• Based on your group's discussion, how do you plan to revise your essay? Be specific!
