Day 12

Academic Version of Paper 1

Minimum word count: 1,250--works cited page does not count in word count.  If you do not meet the minimum word, the highest grade you can receive is a D (66%)
2 sources, any citation style is fine, double-spaced, 12 point font, 1 inch margins

Peer review:

  1. Read your paper aloud to your partner while the partner takes notes.
  2. After the reading, the listener will explain the following:
    1. What is the goal of the writer?
    2. Why is this topic important (according to the writer)
    3. How is the writer going to fulfill the goal? (sources, comparison, close analysis of one film...?)
    4. Does the topic need to be narrowed?  If so, how?
    5. Can the goal be accomplished? (i.e. will it need a textbook-length paper to answer or does it span too much time or too many cultures or is it speculative?) 
  3. After the listener has reported, the writer can ask questions but not clarify or lecture on anything.
    1. Example: "What I meant was..." is not appropriate but "What made you think my intention was..." is.
  4. Then switch.
If extra time: write a paragraph using the Point, Example, Explanation guide using an example from your paper/topic or from Happy Feet.  Practice expanding the Example and making it detailed and clear.
