Purpose: to give constructive feedback on the persuasive essay assignment

We are doing the peer review step fairly early in the process of writing the essay in order

to give you some feedback while you are still in the developmental stage. This editing

process will not focus on correcting sentence structure errors or minor details, but rather

on the overall impression. You will get feedback on the effectiveness of specific

persuasive strategies and suggestions for improving the structure or the essay. Editors,

don't get bogged down in details. Look at the big picture, please. You need to submit one

of these peer-editing sheets with your final essay. The editorial process should take about

20-25 minutes, and it should involve an individual review where the editor reads the

essay independently, without consultation, and records his/her responses. Once this has

happened, it could be quite useful for writer and editor to confer. If the conversation

veers off the essay, please consider the conference over and return to your seats to

consider your feedback (I'll help you with this step).

1. Read through the entire essay once. Read the essay without a pen/pencil in your hand

and do not make corrections while you are reading. Once you have finished the first read

through, record your impressions about the following:

1. Unity, Coherence, Emphasis (Check grammar workbook or website if you need a

refresher)

2. Clear thinking and writing

***Do not make banal comments of affirmation. Certainly point out where the writer is

using language effectively, but remember that this should be an academic process.
