Peer Review Guide |
| In your group have each person read
his or her draft essay aloud as time allows. As a group, discuss
each essay — what is the point of the essay, what things you really
like, what things seem unclear, what revisions, additions or
deletions would have made the essay even better.
After the discussion, individually write a paragraph (on the computer) reviewing the essay following the guide below. Although the group discussion should be helpful, use your own ideas and words as appropriate. Be specific; remember your goal is to help the writer. Short responses that display little thought or concern will be evaluated accordingly. As it may be appropriate or possible, you also are encouraged to write comments and make editing ideas on the drafts you review. Note: If the group approach is not possible, a second, less valuable, method is to read each essay and complete the guide. Review
Guide (use
these questions as the basis for your paragraph review) Prepare each review separately and return to the essay writer to be attached to the assignment. Be sure your essay has been reviewed by three class members. And be sure you have peer reviewed at least three essay drafts. Place the
following information above each review on the assignment: To the Essay Writer: Use these recommendations as a guide to revising your paper. Also use the comments and marks made directly on your draft. Remember, you are responsible for mechanical/grammatical revisions. Be sure to proofread, edit and revise with care.
