Peer Review: Literary Analysis 1
Instructions: Reviewers, when parts I and II are completed, copy and paste the peer review into the week 3 peer-review DF as a reply to the peer you reviewed.

Part I: To assess the paper’s completion of assignment basics, fill in the following check-off guide. Any “nos” equal areas the writer should attend to before submitting his or her final draft.

| No. See Above. |
Paper includes a Reference page in addition to the 3-4 pages of composition? | Reference was provided. Not on it’s own page. | Be sure to list your reference on a separate page and put a title on it. |
Introduction includes the text/s and author/s under discussion in the introduction? | The introduction is well written aside from spelling and grammar errors. |

Introduction includes a thesis that makes an assertion about a clear topic? | While you do state a thesis at the end of your introduction. I would consider making your thesis more detail or changing some of your main points. |

Conclusion leaves the reader thinking about the importance of the essay’s main idea and how they lead to a fuller or more nuanced understanding the drama? |
