[SOLVED] Peer response to outline
I need an explanation for this English question to help me study.
Working with your assigned partner (Ill dictate this based on research topics), download their outline and open it in Word/Google Docs. Review the Straub reading, specifically the section on asking questions in the margins. Following Straubs model questions, use the insert comment feature to pose at least one content-oriented question per L-2 heading. Encourage your partner to think more deeply about their topic and how they organize their ideas. Some questions to consider asking (adapt these to your partners topic):
- Why does it make sense to present Topics X/Y together?
- I see that youre considering Source A, here, but wouldnt Source A make more sense if wed already been introduced to Source B? Both sources comment on Issue Q, but
- Your new idea comes in here, but wouldnt Section 1 be more effective if we already knew what you planned to argue?
- This might be a rough transition; how can we logically structure your information to ease this shift in focus?
As you reply to your peer, it will be especially important to pair content questions and structural observations. Youre not an expert in their topic, but you sure do know how to organize a research paper and write an outline. Dont be afraid to project, a bit, and comment on what you think a reader might have difficulty doing with the final project.
Once youve completed this response, post it as a reply to your partners original Discussion Board post.
