- 7. This session isgeared toward revision—not editing. While you may circle errors you notice in the text, refrain from making editing suggestions, that is spelling, grammar, and word choice suggestions. Your job as a reader is to answer the questions on the handout. These questions will help you help the writer to improve the paper in terms of organization, content, integrating quotations, and MLA style. If you don’t know the answer to a question, ask me. I will be happy to help you. This is not an editing exercise; it is a revision process.
- 8. Follow the directionson the handout. Respond to each prompt carefully and completely. A good critical reading does three things: It lets the writer know how the reader understands the point of the story, praises what works best, and indicates where the draft could be improved. 1. Evaluate how well the issue is presented. Summarize: Tell the writer what you understand the issue to be about. If you were already familiar with it and understand it differently, briefly explain. Praise: Give an example from the essay where the issue and its significance come across effectively. Critique: Tell the writer where more information about the issue is needed, where more might be done to establish its seriousness, or how the issue could be reframed in a way that would better prepare readers for the argument.
