Ten minute exercise.
Exchange papers with a peer.
Read their thesis statement aloud to yourself. Are there any clunky words, or areas that you fumble over? If so, circle them.
Note any areas where the language could be more specific and clear. Did they forget any important details, such as the title of the fairy tale version they are writing about, or the author?
Is their thesis statement arguable? Are they making a claim? If it's just a statement of facts, then that is a problem.
What questions do you have after reading the thesis? Write them down.
Rewrite the thesis in your own words. Hand the paper back to the author.
