Peer Review Questions

Interest and engagement

The essay was engaging and kept me interested throughout. The Intro didn’t grab my attention but the
hook wasn’t in yet so it makes sense. The intro does have a thesis.

The author is presenting their thoughts on reading and writing. The thesis and theme is clearly present
throughout the essay.

There were some good anecdotes such as when you proclaimed yourself an author and they connected
well to the framework. I think paragraph 2 has some good examples but I think the significance of these
events isn’t really explored

Both paragraphs do a really nice job with descriptive language.

Paragraph 1 does a nice job connecting to sponsors of literacy. Paragraph 2 could use a lot more fleshing
out of how the examples connect.

Grammer passes the eye test for me but that’s not really saying much

For this peer review draft, the essay is at a good length and I am going to assume it will be much longer
later on in the writing process

The conclusion is not finished and therefore does not currently summarize the essay or provide any
closure

My overall impression with this draft is that it is very good for a rough draft. I thought the first paragraph
was really good and I can't think of any ways to improve it. The second paragraph has a good start but I
think it could use some fleshing out of how the examples listed had an impact on your literacy.
