Mar 3 ... Peer Editing




OBJ:

Students will review elements of MLA formatting in preparation for editing and revising of persuasive research paper rough drafts.  Students will use revising and editing skills to transition work from a rough draft to a final draft.

Students will continue to read and analyze Shakespearean Drama (Macbeth).


WARM UP:

CWoD ... EQUIVOCATE



TODAY ...


  • Make sure to get BOTH pages of the peer editing activity from the Chromebook cart.
  • You will rate (on a scale of 1-5 ... 5 being best) several key areas of your partner's paper.  You can also make BRIEF comments on parts as you see fit.
  • Find a partner to work with and share your research paper with them - you will get their completed peer editing sheet when they are done so you have some peer feedback to use as you fine tune your final draft.

  • At the end, write a 4-5 sentence paragraph of your impression of the paper.  What was strongest ... what was weakest?  How could the writer strengthen his/her argument?  Was the evidence used effective?  Would this paper persuade someone who was unsure about the topic to adopt the writer's point of view?
