Peer Review Guidelines: Essay 3

Peer Review Guidelines

1. Give written feedback that offers specific praise and criticism.
2. Put your name on this feedback and give it to the writer.
3. Keep your written feedback and staple it to your final draft.

Writing Feedback Directions (from the text Tutoring Writing)
1. Open with a general statement about the essay's relationship to the assignment. Be clear about which parts fulfill the assignment and which parts need improvement. When you make a specific, concrete suggestion for improvement, try couching it in a qualifier: "You might try..." or "Why don't you add..." or "Another way of writing the lead might be..."
2. Present comments so the writer knows which problems with text are most important and which are of lesser importance.
3. Use comments primarily to call attention to strengths and weaknesses in the piece, and be clear about the precise points where they occur.
4. Write comments that are text-specific, and uniquely aimed at the blog and the writer. Let the writer know what specific lines, ideas, and stylistic touches you find pleasing.
Attach written suggestions from your peers to your final drafts for full peer review credit.

Reflection on your writing process for essay assignment three. Answer the following questions in a brief letter to the professor. 1. Overall, are you confident that your essay meets the expectations of the assignment? Why or why not? 2. What is the most difficult part of the assignment for you? How are you overcoming it? 3.
