PAPER #2: PEER REVIEW ONE

Working in a group of three (with at least one person who has never read your writing so far), read and mark both of your partners' papers. If you have a group of four, you need to read two of your partners' papers. For each paper, do the following:

• Write "Read by [your name]" at the top.
• Complement effective moments in the paper (transitions, quote mechanics, strong quote selection, analysis, word choice, etc.)
• Mark quotes that lack either a signal phrase, proper quote mechanics, correct citation and placement, and discussion.
• Grammatical errors and sentences that don't read clearly
• Weak transitions.

Then write a note that does the following:

• Identifies the primary text (book or movie) and the secondary text (theory) being used.
• Explains the thesis as you understand it based on the draft so far
• Offers suggestions on ways to improve the introduction
• Comments on how effectively the paper avoids too much summary without analysis
• Comments on how effectively the secondary source is used to support the writer's claims
• Offers suggestions on what to add to make it a complete draft
