Introductory Information and Overall Impact<br />
(Be as specific as possible—can you point to a specific page or line?)<br />
What is the research question? If you are able to find it, write it below. If you cannot find it,<br />
indicate that below.<br />
What does the writer establish to be at stake in asking this question? In other words, why does<br />
this topic matter in modern day, according to the writer?<br />
What background information does the writer provide about the topic? Is there anything you<br />
feel like you are missing? What do you still need to know?
Digital Annotation<br />
Highlight moments in the draft that you liked, or that you thought were especially effective (at<br />
least 2; at most 5). Give a comment that briefly indicates why you chose this particular<br />
moment.<br />
Your reasons for choosing these can and should be varied:<br />
• maybe the author uses a transition or shifts focus at just the right moment<br />
• maybe the writing is clear and concise<br />
• maybe the author has incorporated a quote in an impressive way<br />
• maybe they use an exceedingly stylish or catchy word, phrase, or sentence.<br />
Keep track of moments that are unclear or can be more concise (3 max). Again, give a brief<br />
indication in a comment box of why you’ve chosen these sentences<br />
I don’t want you to offer a revision of these; rather, I’d like you to mark the sentence<br />
with a different color highlight and comment on why you marked it. Are these moments<br />
• oddly worded<br />
• too wordy<br />
• out of place in the structure of the paper<br />
• generally unclear<br />
• etc.<br />

Reverse Outline<br />
On this page, construct a reverse outline for this paper. Once you’ve done this, look over it,<br />
and note whether or not the paper’s structure makes sense. DO NOT simply tell your author<br />
“it makes sense” or “it doesn’t.” If the author’s structure is a little off-topic or confusing (and<br />
that’s ok in the drafting stage!), tell them why you think so.<br />
Final Comments<br />
Write a brief note below that summarizes at least 2 main pieces of feedback for this paper. In<br />
other words, if the writer only has two days left for revision, what do you feel are the most<br />
important aspects of your feedback that they should consider? Remember to be constructive<br />
and facilitative with your summary.<br />
