Argument Peer Review

Today you will be doing a peer review on the rough drafts 
you wrote for today before writing your final draft to turn in. 

When you are discussing your papers, think about the ways
that the paper is strong as well as ways the argument could
be improved.

Your agenda:

1. Read your paper out loud to your partner.
2. Your partner will fill out the peer review sheet while they listen to you.
3. When you are done, share your findings. You will to
    explain to your partner what they did well and what can be 
    improved. (Hint: Use the chart below for talking about writing)
4. Trade roles!
5. You will then work together to make improvements based 
    on the feedback you received. What can you add to made the 
    argument stronger? More evidence? More explanation? Add it.
