Question

In this assignment, you are expected to give feedback on your peer's draft. Your role is both an academic WRITER and an academic READER with basic knowledge about the academic writing conventions that we have learned in class and the conventions regarding the genre (e.g., EDE). Bring in a copy of your EDE draft one, and exchange your draft with one peer in your class. Each of you will need to review one draft in class. Requirements . Follow the instructions below by marking/highlighting/underlying/coloring different portions in your peer's text AND inserting your clear, meaningful, and generally free of grammatical/spelling errors. Also, please make sure that your comments are specific and concrete - provide them in a way YOU would like to receive them. . Your peer-review grade will be lowered if you do not complete all the tasks thoroughly (e.g., your feedback is very vague; the writing is poor). You may also receive a ZERO grade if you fail to complete your peer-review and submit it by the deadline. Peer-review Tasks Thesis Statement . Highlight your peer's Thesis Statement and insert comments about areas of improvement. For example, is the Thesis Statement clear? Is the Thesis Statement meaningful and making sense to you as someone who is NOT familiar with what the writer is defining? Is the Thesis Statement really conveying an extended definition? What are some suggestions you could give to your peer in terms of strengthening their Thesis Statement? If the TS is missing, indicate it as well. Main Points & Supporting Points · Remember, each body paragraph contains ONE Main Point, which is articulated by a Topic Sentence. Highlight the Topic Sentences in each body paragraph and insert comments about areas of improvement. For example, which body paragraph needs a stronger Topic Sentence and why? Which body paragraph needs an actual Topic Sentence? Which Topic Sentence(s) Sentence and why? Which body paragraph needs an actual Topic Sentence? Which Topic Sentence(s) needs to be improved in terms of clarity? Which Topic Sentence(s) are not effectively linked to the Thesis? Which body paragraph contains too many Main Points and therefore needs to be trimmed? Overall, what are some suggestions you could give to your peer in terms of making the Main Points clearer and stronger? . Remember, each Main Point is elaborated by Supporting Points (e.g., explanations, examples, details, etc.). Find at least two body paragraphs and insert your comments about the effectiveness of the Supporting Points at the end of those paragraphs. For example, which Supporting Point needs more explanations or descriptions and why? Which Support Point needs to be clarified more and why? Which Supporting Point(s) need to be connected more to its corresponding Main Point and why? Which Supporting Points are, in fact, not connected to their Main Points and why? nal Impression . Write down two separate pieces of feedback that (1) comment on something that you really liked about the draft & (2) comment on one core area that you didn't really understand or would like to see further improvement. Type them in the "Add a Comment" box. Then click "Save". (See screenshot below). You MUST complete this step to complete the entire EDE peer-review assignment. Otherwise, your assignment will not be submitted successfully and graded.
