If there are any errors that jump out at you mark them. If there are any places in the paper where the wording or the ideas are confusing, mark these areas by writing a question mark in the margin. Once you have finished, use what you believe their thesis and topic sentences are to fill out the outline provided. Answer the other questions about the paper in the outline provided.

Explain why or why not). 3.Does each paragraph relate back to the thesis? If not, which ones? 4.Do the body paragraphs each have a unique topic? 5.Look back at the prompt. Does the thesis statement in some form present an argument that answers the prompt? Is there some way you think they could improve this? 6.Write at least two full sentences about what you liked about this paper. 7.Write at least two full sentences about where you think this paper could improve.

REVIEWER Highlight every time the author uses a direct quote or paraphrase. For each citation, evaluate whether it was used effectively. Write directly on paper. If there are no mistakes, just highlight the quote, paraphrase, or summary. a) Is the author introduced (full name and title of work the first mention)? b) Did your peer use a parenthetical citation for each citation? c) Is the quote or paraphrase explained and tied back to the main idea of the paragraph?
