Here's the essay we'll be peer reviewing on Tuesday/Wednesday. You can use it as just one example of how this type of essay could be approached. It's also a good example of a properly formatted MLA paper (I hope!).Writing Doesn't Happen in a Vacuum!
If you'd like to be uber prepared for class, you can start thinking of a critical response to this piece. It's just a rough draft, and the author is in need of some help!
Feel free to discuss below (and earn extra credit, perhaps!).
Just a reminder --
Your homework assignment (for Thursday/Friday) is as follows:
1. Read and review your partners' essays for peer review. We'll be having that in class on Thursday/Friday. Type up a response to each partner's essay, which needs to be a minimum of half a page per paper you review. Bring two copies of each review to class. You'll be turning one in to me, and you'll be giving the other to your partners.
2. Read and print out Alexie. It's short and easy and related to what we're working on. A quiz is likely.
As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I'm here to help!
Do the responses have to be doubgle space?
ReplyDeleteHi Liz -- I'm not too picky on the format for your peer responses. As long as they're detailed, specific, and constructive, you'll be in good shape. /Prof. Hoerth
ReplyDeleteMost of my detail is on the student's hard copy, and as well as an attatched leaf of paper where I wrote some reminders. Was this too invasive for a peer responce?
