Peer Reviews should help your classmate improve their work. You are not grading it, and you are not trying to tell them how amazing they are. Be honest and constructive.
The peer review should do 5 things:
- Very briefly summarize the work. What was its main points?
- In the above paragraph, indicate how successful was the work in demonstrating those main points?
- Where could the text have been improved in order to better demonstrate those make points? Provide at least 2 suggestions of improvement. How could the author effectively improve these areas.
- Where was the text particularly effective? Provide at least 2 examples.
- Summarize your main takeaways from the text: the most important areas for improvement and the most important points the author made. Make sure to end on a positive note.
