Simply pair up with a classmate to do a peer review of each other's papers. Read the essay and make comments based on the following questions:
1. Is there a clear thesis? Does the thesis answer the specific question asked? Is it too simple, or does it make an interesting, well defined argument? Does the writer develop/explain the thesis in the first paragraph.
2. Does each topic sentence refer to and advance the thesis?
3. Is each topic sentence explained and proven with specific historical evidence throughout the paragraph?
4. Does the writer use at least half of the documents? Does the author refer to each document by name? Does each document actually support the argument in that paragraph?
