Peer Review 1 Tool Summary Becoming A Reliable.docxhallettfaustina
Peer Review 1 Tool: Summary
Becoming A Reliable Critic by Evaluating Writing
The ability to critique our own writing, to find mistakes and correct them, is developed over time as we read and evaluate the work of others, then apply what we have learned to our own work. To facilitate this process, I am providing some focused questions to help you learn to critique Paper 1 effectively. Particularly since your first paper is a summary, rather than the personal or analytical essays you might be used to writing, the criteria shifts to what the original author is saying, rather than any personal view of the the student summarizer.
You may also use these questions to critique your own work. For your Peer Review, please follow the numbered format of this sheet in answering the questions. For example, discuss thesis first, then main points, etc. Be sure to answer all applicable questions.
Evaluation Questions:
1. The ThesisFollowing summary conventions, is the thesis clearly indicated in the first few sentences, along with original author and title? Is the thesis accurate to the original?Is it expressed in the summarizer’s own words?
2. Main pointsHas the summarizer selected the appropriate main points? Is there a point that you need to hear about, or more about?Are the main points accurately expressed, in the summarizer’s own words? If a quote is used, is it an appropriate quote?If there are any details brought up, are they limited and significant to the main points?
3. Organization/CoherenceAre there appropriate paragraph breaks? (Remember that a summary should not be a series of detached, short paragraphs. Main points will be integrated into paragraphs together.)Does the summary flow well, both between sentences and between paragraphs? Where does the summary seem disjointed or choppy?
4. Paraphrasing/Style/MechanicsOverall, does the summarizer do a good job of using his/her own words? What sentences might seem awkward, choppy or inaccurate? What sentences are good examples of paraphrasing?Are there places where word choices are confusing?Are there places where grammar errors distract from meaning?
5. ToneDoes the summarizer remain consistently objective throughout the summary?
6. Opinion paragraphDoes the summarizer take a clear position on the original essay in this paragraph?Is the opinion well developed with specific support? Where would you like to hear more?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
