Tuesday, 9/17 - Peer editing . . . Note how Beowulf peer-edits Unferth's essay

  • P&P
  • Peer edit four to five other student's intro paragraphs (20-25 min).
    • Tell your colleague which intro is better and why, keeping in mind the points below.
  • Aspects to consider: 
    • Is there a narrative arc? Or for those writing descriptive essays, is there a link between the place described and its effect upon the author? Does the description "show" or give the reader a "taste" of the place's qualities that have deeply affected the author?
    • Has there been a change; is there a difference (of kind or degree) in character, vision?
    • Is there reflection on the author's character development?
    • Does the narrative answer the prompt?
    • Are there any ROs (Run-Ons), CSs (Comma Splices), or Fs (Fragments)?
    • Note any effective, vivid language
  • Beowulf - power on through as much as we can, taking notes on the qualities of "the goodly king."

HW: keep working on CWP college prompts
