Guidelines
For this assignment, you will refer to the drafts posted to this workshop from Writing Assignment.
At this point, you and your peers have selected the topic that you will each develop for your final project submission. While you are critiquing your peers, provide insight to help them structure and organize their draft, and if possible, identify gaps where more imagery can be added to the draft. In the meantime, be sure to reread your own draft so that you can apply these fixes as well.
Review two of your peers' draft submissions. Submit your critiques as a Word document for at least two of your peers' revisions of their selected drafts. Do your best to provide feedback to peers' pieces that have not already been abundantly critiqued. Focus on the development and effectiveness of structural elements and sequence, characterization, setting, and the use of creative nonfiction conventions including dialogue, vignettes, and evidence.
Specifically, your critiques must address the following critical elements:
I. Recognize any strengths within the submission and recommend ways to develop a cohesive structure for the nonfiction piece to ensure that the sequence of the story is effective.
II. Recognize any strengths within the submission and recommend ways to add characterization with concrete and specific details, effectively incorporating sensory imagery.
III. Recognize any strengths within the submission and recommend ways to effectively employ a variety of creative writing techniques to enhance the reader's engagement and immediacy of the piece, including dialogue, vignettes, illustrative details, and supporting evidence.
Consider the following for providing and receiving constructive criticism to the draft of a nonfiction work submission:
As a Reviewer:
1. Take the time to read each submission thoroughly. You will likely need to read it through several times. You might want to read the draft of the nonfiction piece in its entirety and then jot down your first impressions. Then, you will want to read it a second, or even a third time, to develop your critique.
2. You are critiquing the piece, not the person. Your goal is to help the authors achieve their goals. Keep your personal judgment about the subject matter to yourself. You may not be the intended audience for the piece, but to the best of your ability, analyze it as if you were the intended audience.
3. Use the submission's objectives to focus the critique. These include a compelling lead paragraph and satisfying conclusion, development through detail, inclusion of at least two conventions from the selected subgenre, inclusion of detailed facts to shape the narrative, and the incorporation of nonfiction storytelling techniques.
4. The critique should start with the strengths of the draft. What works and why? Provide concrete examples.
5. The final comment should be an overall summary of the submission and your impressions, focusing on the positive.
As the Author:
1. Read the critique of your draft submission carefully, avoiding any desire to defend your choices.
2. If you are unclear what the reviewer means, ask him or her to clarify.
3. If after reading the critique, if you have any questions, feel free to pose them to the group.
4. Take special note of repeated commentary on your draft. This may signify an area for improvement.
5. Thank the reviewers for their feedback. If some commentary was especially helpful, that is useful information for the reviewer. Different writers have different strengths, and different reviewers have different strengths, too.
6. Remember, it is your nonfiction draft submission. You are the ultimate decision maker on what goes into your nonfiction works. You do not have to accept any of the suggestions for improvement if you do not want to; however, at the same time, do not just dismiss suggestions out of hand.
7. Accept that negative feedback comes with the territory. Your job is not to make everyone happy, but to make your pitches and eventual work of nonfiction the best that it can be.
