E2: Rough Draft Revision Questions (CitR)

1. Read a partner's introduction: 
• What will the paper be about? 
• Do you want to read more about that topic? Why? Why not? 
• Is it at least five sentences long? 
• Does it make sense? 
• Give your partner one way to improve it after answering all the questions.
2. Read a partner's body paragraphs: 
• Does each paragraph have a topic? 
• Does each topic have an example from the book or from the Core? 
• Is each example's importance explained? Do the explanations make sense? 
• Is it at least five sentences long? 
• Does the last sentence wrap it up and prepare the reader for the next paragraph/idea? 
• Give your partner one way to improve each body paragraph after answering all the questions. 
3. Read a partner's introduction and conclusion only: 
• What should be in the body based on those two paragraphs? 
• Do the two paragraphs go together? Why or why not? 
• Does the introduction seem like a beginning? How? 
• Does the conclusion seem like an ending? How? 
• Identify and underline the thesis/claim in each paragraph—are they the same? They shouldn't be. 
• Give your partner one way to improve the introduction and conclusion after answering all the questions
