Please address each of the following questions in your peer review replies:
Question 1.) Opening Strategy: Remember, the opening is supposed to hook the reader while providing valuable context about the topic.
What strategy does the student intend to use at the opening of their WP3 (e.g., statistic, rhetorical question, anecdote)?
Do you think this is a good choice? Why or why not?
Question 2.) Thesis Statement: The thesis statement should articulate the text's overall argument and be located near the opening of the op-ed.
Does the student have a clear thesis statement? If yes, rewrite it and answer the question: Is the thesis clear, concise, specific, and arguable? Explain your reasoning.
If the student does not have a clear thesis, what do you think they are trying to argue? Suggest a possible thesis for them.
Question 3.) Supporting Claims:
Does the student present at least two supporting claims?
Do these claims logically connect to the thesis and propel the argument forward?
Provide feedback on the strength and clarity of these claims. Do they effectively support the thesis? Should the student add an additional claim?
Question 4.) Use of Evidence:
Does the student include textual evidence for each claim? Is the evidence credible, accurate, relevant, and sufficient? Is the evidence diverse?
Suggest any additional evidence that might strengthen their argument.
Question 5.) Counterarguments:
Does the student address potential counterarguments?
How effectively do they refute these counterarguments? Are there any areas where they could improve?
Question 6.) General Feedback:
Provide general feedback on the overall structure, clarity, and coherence of the draft.
Are there any sections that are confusing or need further development?
