Peer Review: Research Outline/Draft 1

Reviewer: Guadalupe Longino

Reviewee: Maria De La Cruz

Directions:
Look at the content of your peers outline/draft. Make marginal comments and a summative
comment for the author of the paper which you are reviewing. Carefully consider the authors
implementation of the P.I.E elements in each of their slices. Also consider how and why they
need to be changed. BE CLEAR about what you are saying and why you are saying it.

Keep in mind the following (but also include things you think should be added):
Does each P.I.E element do what it is supposed to in each of the slices?
Does each slice have only one flavor? (is the slice talking about more than one thing?)
Is each slice placed logically within the paper?
Did you understand the content of the slice as it was presented? Tell the author what you did
understand and didnt.
Are the slices understandable for an outsider? Explain what the author can do to make it more
understandable.
Did you understand the content of the paper as a whole? (Is this an effective research paper?
Explain)

Write detailed and helpful comments that will help your peer consider how to better shape their
slices to make a well formed research paper.

Prompt

1. Extended Response: In an academic voice, discuss the most/least important skill (particular
ability or expertise) or idea (understanding or awareness) that can be gained from this course by

Why one reading is more important than another based on the ideas presented in those

Summative Comments:
Your thesis is well stated and states your points
Your body paragraphs are well put and you address your thesis
You might want to include in your intro paragraph what PIE elements are, explain them
for the reader (remember they are unfamiliar with this format)
I saw you did that in your last body paragraph, but I think it will be more fitting in the
beginning
You can also state how PIE elements have been incorporated in the reading responses we
did throughout this course
Include a reading response to back up your claim
That way youll be able to talk about PIE and reading responses, it will
answer the prompt in a more clear way
Overall your ideas are well put together and you have a strong thesis
