1. Read the paper through once, start to finish.
2. During a second read-through focus on mechanical, structural or clarity errors or ambiguities. Mark up paper accordingly.
3. Next, identify and circle the thesis. Star it if you like it.
4. Underline each type of support the writer uses. Is there a variety? An effort to present both fact and opinion? Is the opinion authoratative? Is it credible?
5. Did the writer include different types of appeals? If so mark each with either an "l," "e" or "p."
6. Does the author address a variety of audiences? Does he/she consider the different variables for each? Discuss how the writer could accomplish this.
7. Sign the top of the paper and return to the writer. Discuss strategies for revision on the writer's part. The editor will receive a small grade for the help provided and completion of these elements.
REWRITE (yes...again...) and re-re-submit for Monday. Oscar papers will be due a week from tonight. Wednesday, April 20, 2011.
