Peer Review Questions
I learned from both of my peer reviewers that my overall essay was very descriptive and interesting. They shared with me that my essay was knowledgeable and informative about what and why my favorite food is turkey soup. I found it helpful when we shared where I possibly needed more imagery or description and how to make my thesis statement stronger in order for my essay to be more clear and concise.
In my opinion, I felt I adequately shared and pointed out to each of my peers where they had strong points and areas where they could improve their essays. I told each of them specific points where they could use more descriptive language in certain areas to spice up their essays. I learned in my high school years that adding imagery and description is very important in allowing the reader to join you in the writing experience you are describing.
One thing that was not mentioned very much in the actual feedback was on the topic of MLA format. I think this topic is unclear to some. I ended up using the guides Professor Miller gave us on our handouts and was able to see if I correctly organized my MLA format with headers with our last name and page number in the upper right-hand corner.
One topic I do wish that we talked more about is the thesis statements of each other’s essays. In my opinion, it would have been beneficial to state how clear and concise each other’s was. In some ways, I think there are still some people who are confused about this statement and avoid talking about it in order to not feel embarrassed or seem confused around their classmates. Overall, I loved this project and felt the topic was fun and interesting!
