English 1001               Paper #4 Peer Review Sheet

Reader’s Name:                                                            Writer’s Name:

Please answer the following questions as you read and re-read the writer’s paper.  Do not ask the writer any questions about his or her paper because this paper should be able to stand on its own and because the writer should be reading another paper currently anyway.

What is the writer’s thesis? (Write it here)
 

What comparison is being made?

 
Does it mention both the film and the movie?

 
Does it mention why the comparison is being made? In other words, what is the significant point that the comparison evokes?

 
 Is the thesis in the introductory paragraph? (It should be)

 
If it does not properly address any of the above, how can the writer fix it?

 

     

 How is the paper structured? Is it point-by-point or subject-by-subject?

 

 Briefly outline the paper below:

 

 
Does this structure correspond to the structure suggested by the thesis? Why or why not?
Is this the best structure for the paper? Why or why not?

 

Does the writer quote from both book and film to support the points made?  (It should)

 Are these examples represented accurately and documented correctly? Are they properly integrated?

 
If not, where and how should this occur?

 
Does the Works Cited page correctly list these sources, as detailed in the IVCC StyleBook? If not, how should they look?

 


Does the writer make any point that you do not agree with? If so, where and why? 

 

Is the paper easy to read? Why or why not?

 

Given the criteria for the paper, as listed on the assignment’s web page, does this paper address all of the requirements?  If not, what does the writer still need to include?

 

 

Given the criteria for the paper and Ms. Radek’s grading style, what grade would you predict this paper would earn, if it remains as it is now?


What suggestions can you make to the writer for improving this paper?      


Please remark upon any unusual spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors.  Has the writer made any appeals to “you” the reader; used any contractions, slang, or clichés; used the word “states” without following it with a quoted complete sentence (or more); or made any other errors?  If so, how would they revise to edit out those weaknesses?
