I feel that I should respond to my peers writing in a way that constructivley questions and critques their writing. By telling them about parts of their paper that I like, and why I like it, will help them try and emulate this style throughout their paper. I want to use Richard Larson's 4 step criteria
1. Does the writer perform felicitously the act he promised?
2. Are the conclusions, the judgments, consistent with and supported by
the data and arguments that precede them?
3. Is it possible for the reader to see, from beginning to end, in what
direction the piece is moving, what steps are taken to reach the writer's
goal, and why?
4. Who is talking to us? Are we in the presence of a faceless speaker or a
distinctive identity? Is that identity consistent within the paper, and is it
suitable to the writer's goal in coming before us? 6
This is to help test the effectiveness of a students piece of writing as a whole "Larson". I should also make my evaluation aimed towards the reader so the student can "practice and refine their critical skills"
