1. The difference between right and wrong is clear.

2. Peer Editing
Put your Narrative Essay Peer Score Sheet on top of your narrative.
There will be three rounds of peer editing; during each of these rounds you will read the paper given to you and ONLY complete what is required of you in that round.
Each round you will be looking at a different paper and assessing for different skills. For instance, Round 1 revolves around “Development”, so you will be specifically assessing this person based on the development of his/her paper.
After the final round, you will get your own paper back, and you will answer the question in Part II with a SPECIFIC answer.
Do we understand so far?

3. Peer Editing (continued…)
On the Narrative Score Sheet, you will score how well your peer incorporated each element YOU ARE ASSESSING, and you MUST provide meaningful comments (not “Great job!” or “This stinks!”).
Be sure to sign by the round you are assessing!
Refrain from talking to each other until the end of the round. If you have questions for that person, write it in the comments section so that he/she is aware of the confusion.
You will turn in the draft and THESE COMMENTS with your final paper. You will receive points off of your own paper if you don’t provide meaningful comments to your peers.

4. Let’s say you give a 5 for the introduction/conclusion section…
Should I even make a comment?

5. YES!
Your intro. paragraph did a great job introducing your belief statement, esp. with the hook you provided! The conclusion also unifies everything well with the reflection you provided.

6. Let’s say you give a 1 for the transition section…
I’m just going to write, “this is HORRIBLE…”

7. NO!
You have a few transitions, but not enough to create a flow to your narrative. Consider adding transition words, such as “meanwhile,” “furthermore,” or “as soon as,” to your narrative so that it doesn’t sound so choppy. I circled areas on your paper that you should look at.

8. Let’s say you give a 3 for the description section…
You have a good simile, but your metaphor and example of personification seem a bit irrelevant and weak. Try inserting some sort of personification at the part when you got bit by the shark. That may really make the scene more significant and powerful!

9. Step 1 – Read the paper assigned to you
Step 1 – Read the paper assigned to you. Refrain from comments at this time.
Step 2 – Look at all of the elements from the round we are on. Assess the paper looking at one element at a time.
Make comments on their actual draft and then make your comments on the peer editing sheet.
Step 3 – Make sure you provided MEANINGFUL feedback to each section of the peer editing sheet.
Step 4 – Sign next to the round we are currently on (literally do this on their peer-editing handout).
Any questions?

11. The difference between right and wrong is clear.
