You know the drill. Take turns reading your essays aloud and then discuss:
1) The intro: is there a hook; is the debate defined; is the thesis well-developed?
2) Are you sure what the source article is? Does the writer engage the source article effectively? Does the writer quote and summarize the source article? Do these quotes have signal phrases and in-text citations?
3) How is the argument going? Does the writer have at least three points of support? If not, discuss possible points of support. Point to at least one point in the essay that could use further development.
4) Does the essay address counter-arguments (opposing view points)?
5) Does the essay engage in needless repetition? If so, point specifically to where cuts need to be made.
