After reading some of the summaries, I decided that some of the summaries were just too thin for someone to actually write a news report based off of them. I also came across a few issues that I would feel much more comfortable addressing before we begin our news report activity--namely that far too many summaries lacked the 5Ws and 1H.
We'll take the first 15 minutes of class to complete more peer review, but this time a bit more guided and thorough.
1. Please take out two sheets of paper and fold them like a hotdog.
2. Please write the 5Ws and 1H on the left side of the hotdog.
3. As you read the summary, fill out the right side as you come across the 5Ws and 1H. If they are missing one, please note that it is missing on your paper.
4. Finally, please write a short comment ( and yes, a complete sentence) on their paper--much like the ones I leave at the end of your essays (but please, not as long!)--that summarizes your reaction to their work. These comments can cover
A. use of language-describe their use of sentence structure or word choice
B. lack of W's or the how
You will then repeat the process. Please manage your time--no more than 7 minutes per summary.
***A VERY rare extra-credit opportunity: Based off the peer reviews, re-type your 10% summary and hand it in with:
1. the original
2. the 2 peer reviews.
Due Wednesday, Feb. 6.
