Well, it was great to view other Character Analysis. I can see I need to change the format for my citations/works cited....and complete a conclusion...along with fixing up the whole project before Thursday.
We had a Q & A to use a guideline for peer reviews and I plan to use this privately in the future as a reminder to ask these important questions about my essays:
1. What did you think when you first saw the title? Is it interesting? Informative? Does it seem appropriate for the paper? Will it attract other readers’ attention?
2. Does the introduction provide enough background information for you to understand the thesis? Has the author and the title of the work been clearly identified?
3. Is there a clear thesis statement? Copy and paste it here:
How well does the thesis statement meet the requirements of the paper? Is in interpretive? Does it present something that a typical reader would need to be convinced of?
4. Has the author used specific words and passages from the text in order to support the thesis? Is there sufficient support for the thesis? Is there anywhere you’d like to have more detail? If so, somehow indicate this area.
5. How well do you feel the essay achieves its purpose? In other words, how convinced are you by the end of the paper? Do you agree with the thesis? Do you feel the thesis hasn’t been supported well enough to convince you?
6. How well has the author documented sources? Is there a Works Cited page citing the textbook? Are there in-text citations, citing specific page numbers? Do exact words or passages appear in quotation marks?
Back to work...much to do...
