Starter - Divide to Conquer
Pull up your thesis document and a blank document. Copy and paste your section 2 into that new document. Share that new document with your partner below. 
​
Peer Critiques for Background Information
Go and sit with your partner. With any luck, they’ll have absolutely no clue what your topic is about. This is good. You want a blank slate to see what you, the expert, are overlooking as obvious.

Your Task
Follow directions on this handout. Write notes on the same paper that you are reading this morning for your partner. 

Step 1: The Read.
Read their background, make some notes. Refer to the handout for specifics here. 

Step 2: The connection.
When you get to step 2, have your partner copy paste their intro section into your shared document. Then, continue to give them notes on that sheet. Again, refer to the handout for specific notes.

Step 3: The Return.
Take a gander at your partner’s notes. Then, add to this document with the next steps you need to follow as described in the handout. 

Back to Work
You’ve got some editing to do.  Revision Priorities for today…

1. Revise Part 2 of your thesis
2. Turn your attention to Part 3- add evidence, expand analysis (remember what, why, connections!), 
3. Add transitions/citations
4. Need a brain break? Go to the MLA Formatting Checklist (because almost no-one had this right on their drafts)
