Questions for everyone to answer about each paper:
1. Is the historical context elaborate enough to understand the protest and why it happened?
2. Are the first two sections organized in a way that is the most effective and clear?
3. Is the distinction between historical and rhetorical context clear and does the distinction make sense?
4. Is the evidence used appropriate and effective?
When we edit each others rough drafts, we need to answer these questions for each paper. In addition, we each need to post a question (in the comments section) that you want answered about your paper. Then, when others edit your paper, that specific question will be answered by each of us in addition to the four questions above.
For example, my question is:
Libby: Is my historical context too elaborate/wordy? Is there some history I should take out to make my point clearer?
Mike: Is my rhetorical context section organized?
ReplyDeleteAre ideas and paragraphs smoothly and sufficiently developed, or would more data or examples support that argument/thesis?
ReplyDeleteDoes my Historical Context section effectively use sources for information?
