Project 1 Peer Review2 PDF

This document contains a peer review form for Project 1, which asks students to write a summary, critique, and response to an assigned text. The form evaluates each section based on key criteria, such as whether the summary introduces the text and author, covers the main points, and remains objective. For the critique section, it checks that the critique analyzes the text's rhetoric and use of techniques like ethos, pathos and logos. The response section is evaluated on whether it extends the author's ideas instead of just restating them. The reviewer provides feedback on elements like the placement of the thesis and areas where more examples could strengthen the analysis.

What is the writer missing in the Critique section? Where can the writer provide more examples?

Response Y N S

Response is developed and digs deep into how and why this text is significant
Concluding thoughts (at the end of the response section) move the reader’s thinking forward,

What are your thoughts on the Response? Does the reader draw you in and make you think? What is the writer missing,
