PEER
RESPONSE SHEET FOR
ORGANIZATION
Below is a version of
the peer response sheet I have my students use when reading
another student's paper for organization. I have changed the
format to fit the confines of this web page. I usually have a
line in front of each statement and one in the middle so that
students can mark a particular item as being a strength, in the
middle, or a weakness.
DIRECTIONS: Circle what you believe to be
the correct response to the paper.
Lead hooks the reader OR Lead is there, but
weak OR Lead
is boring and predictable
Good placement of details OR Some
details seem out of place OR Most details seem out of place
Strong transitions OR Some transitions
are strong, while others are weak OR Transitions
are absent or weak
Smooth, easy pace OR Reader can follow pace most of the time OR Reader gets
lost
Strong conclusion OR Conclusion is
there, but weak OR Stops
all of a sudden or drags on too long
Has a clear purpose OR Purpose isn't
always clear OR Purpose
is unclear--seems to have no point
Builds up interest OR Some important
details and some unimportant details OR Filled with
unimportant details
