Assignment 3: Group Annotation: Student Samples of Rough Draft
Mentor Texts
One of the ways to improve your own writing and your success with this assignment is to look at the “moves” that other writers make. I have posted student essays for you to study and appreciate. Your assignment is to comment on one of the three essays in Perusall. I will be joining you, pointing to what the student scholars do well and highlighting what could be improved.
Quality feedback does these things:
Points out strong areas of writing and explains why they work
Asks questions where you would like more clarification.
Offers constructive feedback in the form of suggestions that can strengthen the work; if something is unclear or needs more explanation, say so!
Acknowledges where the student met the assignment criteria
Allows the person receiving the feedback to feel good about their progress, but also focus on necessary improvements to their writing; think of this as feedforward
Peer Review Workshops
Workshops provide you with your own writing community for most assigned essays. Just as in life, you will discover that some groups are more effective than others, but with each group, you will have the opportunity to:
1. Discuss the assignment.
2. Discover how your peers addressed the assignment.
3. Evaluate your peers’ essays (build skills as a critic, and as a result, improve as a writer).
4. Have your own writing evaluated.
5. Build interpersonal skills.
You will be graded on your active participation in these workshops as well as the quality of your peer evaluations. You will be required to share copies of your drafts for writing workshops. You will lose points for not participating in the peer review.
