Craft your review as a thoughtful letter (that is, direct your response directly to that

student, write in complete sentences, do not merely list, etc.) that includes an analysis of

the essay's thesis/focus, audience/purpose, organisation, development. These are

known as "big picture" elements or higher order concerns.

• Point to at least two big picture elements that are working successfully in your

peer's draft, and explain how so

• Point to at least two big picture elements that are still concerns, with specific

suggestions for how to revise

• Point to at least one lower order concern (sentence structure, punctuation, word

choice, spelling--or formatting or documentation), with specific suggestions for

how to edit.
