Robbins, John
Description
A winner of the Knight Award for Writing Exercises and Handouts, this work originates from English 1127, Shakespeare. By means of two handouts, students first record the thesis and topic sentences for an essay they have written and then, in a process of in-class peer review, examine the thesis and topic sentences for an essay written by a partner. Do the thesis and topic sentences form a rough skeleton from which one can see the paper's general argument? 5 page pdf
