Blog #5--Reflection on Character Sketch Peer Review Process

1. It helped a lot because I got to find out what readers thought about my paper and what the weak spots were AND I got to read two other strong papers and I got a lot of ideas from what they did with their character sketches.

2. I felt prepared for the peer review session because we got the opportunity to observe a session before we did our own. The process felt easy/explanatory to follow.

3. I wanted to know where the strong spots of my paper were and whether my paper felt done.

4. They told me that I needed more dialog and I needed to finish the stories that I started and trailed off on. They really liked my physical description.

5. I didn't notice the lack of dialogue and the way that some stories feel inconclusive.

6. Next draft I will follow up on all of my stories and give all the details so it feels like they have an end. I will try to sate the readers desire for answers.

7. I would give myself a 50, because I wrote and marked up both of my partner's papers thoroughly with well thought-out responses. I think that everyone in my group got a lot of feedback they can work with and is well prepared to rewrite.
