Starter- Thesis Statement + Research Question
On your draft, highlight your research question and thesis statement. Pass to your left. For the one you receive, in a comment on their draft, write the following. 

1. Look at their research question. In a comment, write down the different things they will need to answer to fully answer this question.
2. Look at their thesis statement. Now, look back at their question.  Do they answer ALL the parts of their question in their thesis?  In your comment, make note of any mismatches between their thesis statement and their research question.
3. In a SECOND comment on their thesis statement, write what you predict will be in their arguments based on their thesis statement. Make sure to address what types of arguments they will need to make (what will they need to prove?), what kind of evidence they will need to prove their thesis, and what potential counter-arguments there are to the argument they are trying to make (what would disprove their thesis?).

Part 1 Peer Critiques
Remind of critique norms- specific, helpful, and kind. List of critique qualities on the board. 

Get with your assigned groups. Trade papers (digitally, or have Lori print Part 1 of their paper). For each person:

1. Read part 1.
2. Discuss their hook- 
   1. What is it?
   2. Does it effectively get the reader interested? Why/why not?
   3. How could they make it better?
   4. If you think it’s effective, WRITE IT ON THE BOARD with their name next to it!
3. Answer as a group, verbally: 
   1. After reading this introduction, why should we care about this topic?
   2. What would make you care more, or understand better why it is important?
4. Repeat for each group member
5. To move into independent revision time, show Lori or Grayson a list of revisions you want to make to your question, thesis statement, and/or Part 1.

Revision Time!

1. Start with rewriting, re-organizing, expanding
2. Add evidence
