Step for Peer Review 2:
1. Exchange papers with someone else. Number each paragraph of their paper.
2. On a separate sheet of paper, draw a line down the middle
3. Based on the number of paragraphs, draw a row for each of their paragraphs. Leave a few lines in between. Then write the number of the paragraph to the
left of the appropriate row.
4. In the first box of the row, students DESCRIBE the substance
of the paragraph in question—for instance that the paragraph provides support
for the second reason given in support of the claim.
In the second box of the row, students EXPLAIN HOW the
substance of the paragraph is accomplished or achieved—for instance, the first
paragraph that provides support for the second reason does so through an
illustration using personal evidence.
Go through the whole essay and DESCRIBE/EXPLAIN HOW.
5. After analyzing the essay using this format, now you are are ready
to provide constructive feedback to your partner. They can plainly see what they’ve got so far
in a paper and can often more clearly also see what is missing.
A One-Paragraph
Example
Para # DESCRIBE EXPLAIN HOW
Para 5

Here the writer provides support for her second reason in support
of her claim that schooling does more harm than good, saying it robs people
of simple joys. She talks about the loss of her innocent love of
storytelling.
|
The support illustrates personal experience from the writer’s life. She describes her love of family
stories before she learned to call such stories “anthropology.” Now she finds
she can’t hear a family story without thinking about what the story reflects
about her culture.
