Writing Check-in
Use this week’s discussion to
support each other and get feedback to improve your Stance Essay (due in Week
10).
1. Select 1-2 paragraph(s) from your paper that
you think need improving. Then, read the paragraph(s) aloud (preferably to someone
else) and respond to the following:
·
o What types of errors did you find that you
didn’t catch before?
o Did you uncover any errors that spell check
did not identify?
Sometimes, it’s easier for
other people to catch our writing mistakes. Help your classmates.
·
Did you find any spelling,
punctuation, and/or capitalization errors?
·
Does it flow logically and
clearly from one idea to the next?
·
Can you identify which part of
the essay the shared paragraph(s) are from, i.e, introduction/thesis, body,
and/or conclusion?
·
Can you offer ideas for
improvement?
·
What does he/she do well?
How to give feedback: A “good” peer review is specific and combines suggestions
for improvement and praise for what works well. A “poor” peer review does not
give specifics and does not offer insight to help your classmate reflect on or
improve his or her writing.
Optional: References
List
1. Post 2 APA formatted references.
2. Provide feedback on APA formatting for your
peers.
