PAPER #2: PEER REVIEW #1

Please organize groups of three (there may need to be a group of four). You will need to read two papers and receive two peer reviews.

Exchange papers with your partner. After writing "Read by" and give your name at the top of the paper. Read and mark the paper for the following:

  • Typos, grammatical problems, missed transitions, and confusing statements
  • Quote mechanics (missing signal phrase, misplaced or incorrect parenthetical citations, lack of discussion)
  • Noteworthy sections that are particularly effective
  • Formatting issues, particularly with the works cited page (own page, continued page numbering, titled properly, hanging indent for citation, proper "Work in an Anthology" citation)

Then write a note that discusses the following:

  • Is the paper primarily an evaluation of the specific teacher using Freire's terms or is it a critique of Freire's concepts that uses a teacher as an example? If you aren't sure, point that out to the writer and suggest picking a specific approach based on the content of the paper.
  • Is Freire identified properly along with his essay in the introduction? Is the teacher?
  • Look at each use of textual evidence from Freire: do the quotes support the interpretation being advanced in that paragraph? Are there quotes that should be in the paper that aren't?
  • Ultimately, does the author make a clear point in the conclusion that explains why he or she is talking about Freire and the specific teacher?
