Peer Editing: Compare and Contrast Essay

1. First, read the writer's introduction all the way through then respond to the following:

a. Highlight the attention getter. Does the first sentence "hook" the reader into the paper? Explain.

b. Number the preview of points. Does the introduction correctly state that the paper will discuss “types of work”, “forms of rebellion”, and “types of abuse/punishment”? Explain.

c. Underline the thesis. Does the thesis confuse you, or do you know EXACTLY what the paper is about? Explain.

2. Next, read the writer's body paragraphs all the way through then respond to the following:

a. Underline the topic sentence for each paragraph. Do any of the topic sentences confuse you, or do you know EXACTLY what that paragraph is about? Does that topic sentence directly relate to the thesis statement? Explain?

Topic Sentence #1: ____________________________________________________________________

Topic Sentence #2: ____________________________________________________________________

Topic Sentence #3: ____________________________________________________________________

Topic Sentence #4: ____________________________________________________________________

Topic Sentence #5: ____________________________________________________________________

Topic Sentence #6: ____________________________________________________________________

b. Make check marks next to the writer's supporting evidence in each paragraph. Does each piece of support evidence relate to the topic sentence in that paragraph? Explain. If it does not, put an “X” next to that sentence rather than a check.

c. Does the writer use transition words and phrases to contrast the subjects and to provide a smooth flow from one paragraph to another? If not, show where the writer needs more of these by writing “TRANSITION” in all capital letters.

It does, but it could be improved by providing unexpected facts that make the first sentence more interesting.
Ashraf Al shekaili
Unfortunately, the thesis statement is not very clear on stating that the male and female slaves have different types of work, rebellion, and punishment. I suggest making a clear thesis statement that states these differences.
Ashraf Al shekaili
It is a little confusing, It could be written in a more clear way.
Ashraf Al shekaili
Some of the evidence were clear, but not supported by the Footnote. The writer should relate the evidence to the source using Footnote.
Ashraf Al shekaili
The writer used some of the transition, but he still needs some transitions, such as ON THE OTHER HAND, MORE OVER, HOWEVER.
