Step One.  In class on Tuesday, 2/20, we did the “If you are the Writer” activity where you wrote about your essay’s intended audience, your purpose, and a problem in the draft that you needed help solving.  Then your partner completed #1, “Read for a First Impression.”

Step Two. By Friday, 2/23, complete the activities in the Critical Reading Guide on pages 152-154.  Have your partner respond to each of these prompts:

• Assess whether the concept is clearly explained and focused
• Consider whether the content is appropriate for the intended readers
• Evaluate the organization (beginning, transitions, ending)
• Assess the clarity of definitions
• Evaluate the use of sources
• Evaluate the effectiveness of visuals
• Give the writer your final thoughts

Step Three. For Tuesday, 2/26, complete your revision using the activities on pages 154-159.
