Essay Three Peer Review

Essay Three Peer Review

Q Your complete rough draft of Essay Three is due by 11:59 p.m. CST on Wednesday, March 2. Be sure to upload your completed essay as a .doc or .docx file; you should save the document as "Essay Three Peer Review_[your last name]" (mine would be saved as "Essay Three Peer Review_Aucoin"). If your essay is incomplete or submitted any later than 11:59 p.m. CST on Wednesday, March 2, via this Essay Three Peer Review assignment, you will not be assigned to participate in this Peer Review session. Please see the "Essay Three Assignment" page for a reminder of this essay assignment's requirements. To submit your Peer Review rough draft, click "Submit Assignment." Then, under "File Upload," click "Choose File" and browse to locate your rough draft. Once you've found your rough draft (saved as a .doc or .docx file), click "Open" (you should see the document then listed next to "Choose File"). Finally, click "Submit Assignment." You then should see a check mark next to "Submitted" and the date/time of your submission listed. Remember that your essay should be complete (both in content and in length); this includes having a completed Works Cited page. Of note, I will not provide you with written feedback for this assignment; instead, you will receive feedback from your assigned Peer Review classmates via assignment comments. ___________________________________________________________________ Secondly, on Thursday morning (March 3), I will assign you two peer review partners. Edited to add: All peer review partners have been assigned. You then should review each of your assigned classmates' essays by fully and accurately answering the following questions as an assignment comment for each of them: 1. Does his/her thesis statement reference the authors' specific purposes? Remember, the writer should have noted each author's specific purpose earlier in the introduction paragraph, so just referencing that the use of the noted tools and appeals helps the authors achieve their specific purposes will suffice. 2. What is the writer's chosen specific purpose for the "Pro" article (first noted in the introduction paragraph), and is it appropriate for this assignment? Reference question #4 on the Brainstorm worksheet to ensure acceptability. 3. What is the writer's chosen specific purpose for the "Con" article (first noted in the introduction paragraph), and is it appropriate for this assignment? Reference question #4 on the Brainstorm worksheet to ensure acceptability. 4. Does the thesis statement indicate the "Pro" article's chosen rhetorical tool(s) and appeal, as well as the "Con" article's chosen rhetorical tool(s) and appeal? 5. Are all of the chosen tools and appeals appropriate, per the "Essay Three Assignment" page? 6. Does each topic sentence for the Rhetorical Tools and Appeals ¶s “match” the thesis listing? Double-check that the order of the Rhetorical Tools and Appeals ¶s aligns with the order of rhetorical tools and appeals listed in his or her thesis statement. 7. Does each topic sentence for the Rhetorical Tools and Appeals ¶s also note the author’s specific purpose? 8. For each Summary ¶, does the topic sentence reference the author and establish his/her main claim? 9. Is the article objectively and briefly summarized in chronological order in each Summary ¶? 10. Does he/she rely primarily on paraphrases (i.e., use his/her own words) instead of direct quotations in the Summary ¶s? 11. Does he/she reference the author throughout each Summary ¶ (by including signal phrases)? 12. Does he/she clearly and effectively conclude each Summary ¶? 13. Are correct in-text citations included throughout the Summary ¶s? 14. Does he/she include sufficient, relevant evidence in the Rhetorical Tools and Appeals ¶s to show the author’s use of the rhetorical tool or appeal? 15. Does he/she explain in each Rhetorical Tool and Appeal ¶ how the evidence helps the author fulfill his/her specific purpose? 16. Does he/she clearly and effectively conclude each Rhetorical Tool and Appeal ¶? 17. Are in-text citations included as needed (for direct quotes, paraphrases, and summaries) throughout the ¶s? 18. Did he/she properly integrate the sources (his/her "Pro" article, his/her "Con" article, and an appropriate secondary outside source) into the essay? 19. Did he/she cite each source accurately and include proper in-text citations? 20. Does he/she have any “dropped quotations” or any quotations extending more than four, full, typed lines? 21. Did he/she use signal phrases to introduce his/her quotations? 22. Does he/she include an acceptable secondary outside source (per the assignment page’s guidelines) only in the Introduction ¶? 23. Is the heading only on the first page of the essay, and does it include the correct information (in the correct order)? 24. Is the header correct on each page (including the Works Cited page)? 25. Is the essay's title centered, but not underlined, italicized, or in quotation marks? Check for a title both on page one of the essay and on the Works Cited page. 26. Is the entire essay double-spaced? 27. Are the essay's margins correct? 28. Does the writer use the correct font? 29. Are his/her sources listed alphabetically on the Works Cited page? 30. Are all three of his/her entries on the Works Cited page double-spaced and properly indented? 31. Does each Works Cited entry include all required information in the correct order and with the proper punctuation? 32. Is the essay at least four full pages in length (not counting the Works Cited page) when the essay is properly formatted? 33. Indicate three positive points about the essay. 34. Provide at least one piece of helpful advice that the writer can use as he/she revises his/her essay. Be sure to respond directly to your assigned classmate via this assignment, as done for previous peer review assignments. As you are answering the above-listed 34 questions for each of your assigned classmates, please use formal English and number your responses (1-34). You will be graded on clearly, fully, and accurately answering all questions. Due Date/Times: There are two required parts to this activity: 1. Your complete Peer Review rough draft is due on March 2, by 11:59 p.m. CST. 2. Your responses to two assigned classmates' essays are due on March 3, by 11:59 p.m. CST. Because of this quick turnaround, this assignment will remain accessible through 12:00 p.m. CST (noon) on March 4, should you need a little extra time to complete your responses without penalty. It will close and no longer be accessible by that time, though (12:00 p.m. CST (noon) on March 4)). If you do not provide responses for your two assigned classmates, then you will not receive credit for this assignment. The rubric used to grade this assignment is posted here.

The freedom of expression and information has always been under question when it comes to the patient and doctor in case of an abortion. The pro/con authors that have been discussed in this essay have written about the controversies regarding abortion. Wondolowski believes that when pregnancy is discussed, the women should receive all kinds of information regarding it, even abortion; whereas Morrison believes that the government has all the rights whether to fund or not any messages related to abortion. In the pro/con article “Abortion Controversies”, Wondolowski primarily uses pathos, facts, and ethos, on the other hand, Morrison primarily uses common ground, logos, and facts to support their claims on abortion rights.
