Peer Critique Setting up Quotes
Today, you need to once again share your thesis (or a copy of it) with your partner. They are going to be trawling through all your quotations to see how you set them up. Follow the handout for specifics, but as always, here’s the gist:

Command+F
Have you used the find and replace function in Google Docs yet? You’re about to become intimately familiar. Use Command/Control + F and put a quotation mark (“) in the textbox. This will highlight where every single direct quote is hiding. 

Step 1: The Hunt
Leave a comment on each quote setup indicating what type of setup it is (Method 1, Method 2, Method 3). Don’t hit comment just yet.

Step 2: The Kill
On that same comment, add a “YES” if their punctuation is correct for said quote, a “NO” if not. 

Step 3: Signal Phrases
Now for the new part. Highlight out the signal phrase they used in their setup. Look at setting up quotes if you need more context.

Step 4: Safe Harbor
Return to your paper with what should be a seemingly impossible wall of comments on the right. Go through them and take note of the setups you used. Make a tally if you feel so inclined. Now, what are you going to do to improve your setups?

1. Do you need to vary your setups more?
2. Do you need to take out article titles and author names from setups, in favor of more substantive content?
3. Are you missing signal phrases?
4. What about the punctuation? Need to do some sleuthing to find out what’s wrong?
