Before we begin the peer-editing process, here are a couple of helps:
- A bit of extra help with parenthetical citations (Like, what if I don't have an author?).
- The Rubric
- Example Essay
Peer Editing Check list:
- Heading, header & title
- Intro paragraph- Interesting hook? Clear thesis?
- Body paragraphs- TIED structure? organized with topic sentences that match thesis?
- Sweet critical thinking? Could this paper be more interesting or better proven?
- Evidence-Is every quote relevant and powerfully used? Correctly cited in the text?
- Conclusion- Is this essay well resolved? Is there a meaningful end beyond the summary? (Could do a call to action or a bridge to something today.)
- Are these citations up to speed with MLA format? Are the alphabetized by first letter? Drop indented?
HW: Polish and print this beast! It is due tomorrow as a hard copy. (If your world has been rocked by this new no-printing life, email me a copy as a pdf or shared google doc.)
