peer review w 1

1. Read the introduction, thesis, and outline.

2. Leave in-text comments on the introduction, thesis, and outline. I expect comments on every major part/idea/point. Please also include 2 -4 comments on grammar or sentence structure.

3. Answer in detail and in complete sentences the peer review questions on page 513 of Longman textbook.

4. Finally, answer these question in complete sentences:

• Introduction: How does the first paragraph introduce both the paper’s topic and the writer’s approach or general conclusion? Is the first sentence attention-getting and relevant to the topic? What introduction method is used? Is it effective? Provide suggestions.
• What can you identify as a thesis statement? Suggest, if possible, a way to improve the introduction or thesis statement. What is the preview of points? Does the thesis meet all that is required for this thesis statement? Provide suggestions.
• Structure: Can you identify the organization of the paper from the main idea of each paragraph? What are the main concepts explored in the paper? Does each paragraph make a relevant point that is distinct from what has already been covered? What are the main conclusions? Provide suggestions.
