Instructions for Peer Reviewing
Important notes: You will be reviewing your classmate's essay for coherence, not grammar. If you don't understand a passage, put a snake line under it and add a question mark above the phrase/sentence. You may add suggestions in the margin, e.g. "add an indentation," "add a keyword for the topic,", etc.
-
Mark the thesis statement in a font color and bold it.
-
Highlight the TOPIC, the CONTROLLING IDEA, ASPECT 1, ASPECT 2, and ASPECT 3 in the thesis statement in different colors.
-
Highlight keywords in the introductory paragraph in the corresponding colors.
-
Mark the topic sentences in the same font color as the thesis statement and bold them.
-
In each paragraph, highlight the keywords in the same colors as in #2. Keywords can take the form of nouns, pronouns, synonyms, or reference words (this, that, these, those)
-
Highlight discourse markers in a different color.
-
Please review the in-text citations and references for format (punctuation, capitalization, spacing, and italics).
At the bottom of the essay, write "Reviewed by: ________" and write your name. Then write a comment about the essay regarding coherence. Make 2-3 specific suggestions as to how the essay could be improved.
