W1-Bio-Final, RD, sketch, peer/self edit-Due 9/14 A-9/19 B (changed for 5th)
Take out a blank piece of paper, label peer edit, your name, period, date
List the following, leaving space for comments from a peer and yourself:
Hook/Engage reader
Elaborate details, specific info
Thesis
Transitions, Organization
Spelling, Grammar
On this peer edit sheet, you MUST have someone read and make comments on your paper. For each item on your list, they need to comment. For example, for hook, they might put that they really enjoyed your hook, that your hook was ineffective or that you don't even have a hook. When they get to the spelling and grammar, they must go through the 10 writing tips given with W3 and make sure that they verify you haven't make any of those 10 mistakes. For example, if you abbreviated something you shouldn't have, on the edit sheet or your rough draft, they need to write, spell things out.
Then, you must go back and make comments next to their comments about your paper and/or their comments. So if there is something they missed or something they misunderstood you should clarify it yourself.
