Look at the 5 categories on GSW’s rubric for grading essays (found in your Portfolio). In which category do you feel the strongest? The weakest?
Example: I feel strongest in the audience category, because I have a firm handle on how to talk city council members. I put a lot of time into what issues they would care about and what language they would want to hear. I feel weakest in my detailed support category, because I’m having a hard time figuring out what my audience doesn’t know or needs explained to it.

What did you learn about your draft from your peer review session? What do you plan to focus on next?

I’m going to spend some time constructing a paragraph that addresses and refutes the counter-argument that my clown group may actually scare some of the children it is trying to help.
