Peer Editing

 Consider the following in the students essay you are reading. Do they: have a claim or thesis that is not a FACT, but an opinion that answers how? or why? or to what extent? Is there evidence of understanding a universal theme? Is the essay organized with a beginning, middle and end? Are claims supported with evidence: quotes, textual details; events; specific aspects of character (actions; appearances; thoughts; words; inactions; etc.) and your own reasoning as to why these are important?  Does the essay ARGUE a claim? Is it logical?
Are the quotes well integrated or do they appear choppy, or out of place?  Does the writer make use of the best evidence and most complete evidence including aspects of Acts IV and V?
  Grammar/Conventions: Is the pronoun, "I" avoided? "we" and "you" Second person should not be used. Are transitional phrases used?
