Peer Review 1

From reviewing Alexis's draft, I definitely gained a little insight on my own. I gained confidence that I am working well within the QRG genre. I think I could use a lot of adding to my draft, a lot of filling in some holes where Alexis's draft seemed much more complete by comparison.


2 Mistakes:

• I don't think it's her fault due to the nature of her story, but the descriptive elements could use a little boost. This may truly not be possible for her, but it is for me so it's definitely a good reminder to not do this in my own project.
• Maybe the title could be slightly more exciting/enticing to the reader? I'm thinking about revising mine to make it as clear as hers, but I do want to keep the intrigue that I think mine has.

2 Effective Choices

• THE PICTURES/FIGURES OH MY GOODNESS. I know my draft is definitely lacking in the visual aid department, and I think Alexis chose the most useful images to include in her QRG. Not only do they enhance the look of the guide, but they help make the guide a little easier to understand.
• The way she summed up what happened so concisely was absolutely wonderful and genre-consistent. If there's any way to tighten mine up to resemble hers, without losing information, I'd be a happy person.

Overall, I think this first round of peer review was an absolute success! Alexis has helped me so much in determining where I could improve, and I think our QRGs received some nice boosts, due to a little help from each other!
