Journal Feedback guidelines
I would like you to answer the following questions. Write at least one sentence for each question.
What is the focus of their journal? Is it clear and concise in the introduction? Is it focused? Does it engage you? Why or why not?
Of all the examples and quotations contained in this response, which is the strongest? Why? What made it stand out above the others? Was it supported and well explained? *****For your first journal, this does not apply*** For all others it should.
What is one thing this journal does well? It could be its organization, word choice, writing style, choice of quotations, introduction, conclusion, etc. In addition to mentioning what the author does well, copy and paste an example of what you thought was particularly effective. Be sure to put the example in quotations.
What is one piece of advice that the author might consider when making his/her final revisions? Your suggestion could be about integrating vocabulary, citing quotes, polishing the introduction, ending with a strong conclusion, etc.
Your comments should appear below the journal you are responding to. (If you are responding on the blog please respond in the comment section. Or they can add you on as an author and you can write a new post for the comments)
Then give 3 quick Praise, Polish, Ponder statements summarizing your feedback.
