English 101:L01 Peer Review 3

 

This is the third peer review for English 101:L01. As in the first two Peer Reviews, you will exchange drafts with a partner. But since these drafts are online, the exchange will be an exchange of URLs.

Once you have accessed your partner's draft, read it through completely. Then respond to the following questions:

  1. Who is the audience for this essay? Remember that this is a web publication, so the potential audience is quite large. Who would be interested in this topic?


  2. What is the purpose? Is the author trying to explain something? To persuade or change people's minds?



  3. What is the thesis? Is this thesis appropriate for this audience? That is, is the author telling them anything they don't already know or already agree with?



  4. Construct an outline of the essay by identifying and listing the topic sentences of each paragraph.



  5. How easy / difficult is it to navigate the essay? What navigational aids has the authors used? How is the navigation related to the organization?
