CRITIQUE: PART 3
Groups of 3: Share your document with both of your partners. Partners should each make a fresh copy and share the copy right back with you.
Analysis...
- Highlight what you believe to be the THESIS in yellow.
- Comment in the margin if you have suggestions on how to improve the thesis statement.
- Highlight the TOPIC SENTENCE of each sentence in blue.
- Is the topic sentence clear and does it establish the focus of the paragraph? Does everything in the paragraph work to support the topic sentence? Comment in the margins on these elements.
- Highlight where you see concrete EVIDENCE in green.
- Is there evidence missing? Are they adequately connecting the evidence to the overall argument? Comment in the margins on these elements.
- Check the MLA citations. Is the author setting them up the way that you understand to be correct?
***If you cannot locate these different elements clearly, comment such in the margins.
Feedback...
Review the Writing Rubric
Use the criteria in the rubric to give AT LEAST 3 substantial pieces of feedback in the margins on how the author can improve the essay.
When finished critiquing both, work on revising and drafting Part 1-3.
