SAME PARTNERS: Please go back and do yesterday's critique during today's time (in addition to today's). I hope you got a lot done during your work time yesterday, but the setting up quotes piece is quite important. Not everyone is doing this well CRITIQUE PARTNERS ANNOUNCEMENTS:
TODAY'S OBJECTIVES:
Critique Groups Setting Up Quotes Callback You may remember from way back in season one a little task called setting up quotes. You’re not imagining things, this doc is slightly different than last time. Today, you’re going to delve into the intricacies of setting up quotes with a partner. Peer Critique Setting up Quotes Today, you need to once again share your thesis (or a copy of it) with your partner. They are going to be trawling through all your quotations to see how you set them up. Follow the instructions on the handout for specifics, but as always, here’s the gist: Command+F Have you used the find and replace function in Google Docs yet? You’re about to become intimately familiar. Use Command/Control + F and put a quotation mark (“) in the textbox. This will highlight where every single direct quote is hiding. Step 1: The Hunt Leave a comment on each quote setup indicating what type of setup it is (Method 1, Method 2, Method 3). Don’t hit comment just yet. Step 2: The Kill On that same comment, add a “YES” if their punctuation is correct for said quote, a “NO” if not. Step 3: Signal Phrases Now for the new part. Highlight out the signal phrase they used in their setup. Look at setting up quotes if you need more context. Step 4: Safe Harbor Return to your paper with what should be a seemingly impossible wall of comments on the right. Go through them and take note of the setups you used. Make a tally if you feel so inclined. Now, what are you going to do to improve your setups?
WORK TIME: Continue to refine your draft according to all the wonderful feedback you have received from others and your own critical mind! Find your partner from Yesterday! GROUPS
Analysis Framework Returns I told you you’d see this again… even if I am in control and can make it a self fulfilling prophecy. Remember long long ago to last week when we did an analysis framework? Good. Peer Review with Analysis Framework You will be following this handout with your partner. You will need a few highlighting colors. Step 1: A Highlight of your Paper Go through their part 3 and highlight the elements of their analysis. Use the handout for color recommendations. You’re going to need 5-6 colors. Step 2: Editor’s Commentary Now, once you’ve made their paper good and colorful, you’re going to need to give some feedback notes. First up is the general feedback. Overall, what do they need to do? Done well? Etc? See the handout for sentence starters to get you going. Step 3: Specific Suggestions Keep them commenting fingers warmed up, you’ve got more to write. Next up, you need 2 comments for specific suggestions to their paper. No rhetorical questions here. Step 4: Analysis Suggestions One more round of comments. You need to write 2 comments about their analysis sections. Luckily, you have colored this up like a rainbow. What do they need to add? What do they need to change? More context? More why sentences? Step 5: Pearl Clutching Return your colorful mess to its original author. Let them really drink in just how messy their hard work looks. Now, read over their comments, look around the highlights, and come up some actionable steps to be done for your writing. See handout for details. Step 6: Get Workin’ Use your suggestions and actionable steps to get revising. Peer Critiques: Part 2
Pull up your thesis document and a blank document.
Jessica POD Groupings Peer Critiques for Background Information Go and sit with your partner. With any luck, they’ll have absolutely no clue what your topic is about. This is good. You want a blank slate to see what you, the expert, are overlooking as obvious. Your Task Follow directions on this handout. Step 1: The Read. Read their background, make some notes. Refer to the handout for specifics here. Step 2: The connection. When you get to step 2, have your partner copy paste their intro section into your shared document. Then, continue to give them notes on that sheet. Again, refer to the handout for specific notes. Step 3: The Return. Take a gander at your partner’s notes. Then, add to this document with the next steps you need to follow as described in the handout. Back to Work You’ve got some editing to do. Revision Priorities for today…
