ENGL 1301 Peer Review/Workshop Questions: 1st Paper 16 September, 2024

1) Provide feedback on the overall efficacy of the introduction to the rough draft you are working on. Here, you

may rely on whatever resources you wish (eg the textbook, class discussion, your own experience/knowledge)—

the PowerPoint lesson on Introductions might be useful, for example.

2) What is the central claim/main idea/thesis statement? Identify it in the rough draft, and, then, based on

information in the thesis statement, write what you anticipate each of the body paragraphs will focus on.

3) To what extent has the author of the rough draft you are reviewing successfully/effectively summarized their

chosen article? Please explain—in detail—why you decided as you have, and please include examples from the

rough draft to substantiate your evaluation.

4) Describe how the rough draft is organized. What are the different parts of the rough draft as you see it (as

opposed to how you think the author intended the organization to be), and qualify (for example,

effective/ineffective, successful/unsuccessful) and explain the work that each part of the rough draft is doing?

5) To what extent does the rough draft effectively respond to the prompt overall? Here, it is important to consider

how effectively your rough draft strongly responds or “speaks back” to the main source. Provide evidence of

whatever conclusion you draw.

6) Please try to identify the strongest part of the rough draft and discuss why/how you arrived at that conclusion.

(For this, you may want to consider the question in the context of what the prompt is asking us to do.)

7) Please try to identify how the rough draft might respond to the prompt more effectively, and fully elaborate

your constructive critique. One possible area of focus might be the extent to which the paper you are reviewing

meaningfully engages with the source’s rhetoric.
