Peer Review

Your draft should include the following: 

  • Your working thesis statement/ conclusion
  • At least 3 body paragraphs, each with a premise and supporting evidence, including one counterargument with your rebuttal

Submit your draft of the argumentative essay here, as a post (the category is Peer Review).

Review two of your classmates’ essays using the Peer Review Questions by replying to their posts with essay drafts. The goal here is to select essays that haven’t yet been peer-reviewed or that have been peer-reviewed once. If this isn’t possible, you may comment on any essay available.

Please note: if the deadline for the draft submission has passed and there is only 1 essay for you to review, your job is to only review that 1 essay. If there are no essays to review, review your own essay. I will not penalize you for not reviewing work that isn’t there, but you must still complete the assignment to receive credit. Ideally, everyone will receive feedback from 2 classmates, and provide feedback to 2 classmates. Good luck.
