  2. Peer Review/Self-Revision: Areas of Focus • Title— • Does it accurately indicate your topic/act as a guide? • If you read it in a Table of Contents, would you have a good idea of what the paper is about? • Are the primary texts covered included in the title?

  3. Peer Review/Self-Revision: Areas of Focus • Introductory Paragraph(s)— • Do they hook you a reader? • Do they add insight to the paper topic as a whole? • Is it clear from these initial paragraphs where the paper is going?

  4. Peer Review/Self-Revision: Areas of Focus • Thesis— • Is the central question(s)/claim(s) of the paper evident AND compelling? • Are the primary texts integrated into the thesis statement?

  5. Peer Review/Self-Revision: Areas of Focus • Use of textual evidence— • Are their claims that are not supported by the text? • Are the quotes properly cited? • Are there quotes you believe the author could use to support his/her claims, which are not currently in the paper?

  6. Peer Review/Self-Revision: Areas of Focus • Structure— • Does the order support the argument? • Does it flow (i.e. allow you to get lost while reading)? • If the essay is braided, does it follow a regular pattern?

  7. Peer Review/Self-Revision: Areas of Focus • Overall quality of language • Any repeated words or ideas? • Any extraneous verbiage? • Are there transitions— • From paragraph to paragraph? • From sentence to sentence? • From one idea to the next?

  8. Try not to write like this: From “If Everyone Still Wrote Like They Did in College,” collegehumor.com

  9. Peer Review/Self-Revision: Areas of Focus • Conclusion— • Does the essay leave you with something to think about? • Is it clear how more is gained by comparing looking at both texts instead of simply considering one text on its own?
