Learning Outcome 4
Early in the year when we began peer reviewing I felt bad for whoever essay I was gonna peer review but I didn’t think I would give any insightful feedback. I usually would look for good flow and good grammar. After going through three essays of peer reviewing go more in-depth and give much better constructive criticisms. In the intro of reviewing I often focus on the hook, introducing the sources and most importantly the thesis. I usually go through the thesis and cross check that every claim in the essay checks out with the thesis. If not then the thesis or the claim of the paragraph should be altered to complement each other. I also focus the argument doesn’t shift through the essay and if it does then the thesis needs to be added onto or the argument changed altogether. For the flow sometimes moving around paragraphs helps. Most times in rough drafts need more analysis after quotes and make sure that quotes. One comment I used on Mathews essay “expand upon this or move it around so the topic for this paragraph is clear and connects to the thesis.” this helped the paragraph argue the thesis.
