Did you make it to the Milky Way To see the lights all faded And that heaven is overrated? Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star? One without a permanent scar...

Read your peer’s papers and question and make suggestions regarding the organization and clarity of the paragraph. Is the organization of your peer's paper strong?

Is there enough textual support? Is there an introduction, body of support, and a conclusion that reiterates their opinion? Remember: you are helping your peers strengthen their papers, just like your peers are helping YOU, so offer productive and constructive suggestions. Hand in each evaluation. == == 2. You will then review your peers' three suggestions and your paper. Review the comments and consider any apparent dissonance between your intended message and your peers' understandings and reception of your message. Then revise your paper and hand in. ==
