Blogging the peer review

For Introductions

Besides making sure your thesis is there:

- test whether or not your keywords are defined
EX: Superbugs are...
- introduce the texts you're going to be using
EX: In this essay I will give evidence from The CAFO Reader, Food, INC., and Slaughterhouse.
- give the reader a story/preview from your evidence
EX: We can already see these ideas at work in a story from The CAFO Reader. In that story...

Topic Sentences

Topic sentences of paragraphs should generally correspond to the ideas raised in the thesis. Further, the topic sentence of each paragraph should define what every other sentence in that paragraph is about.

Keywords

Remember, keywords are ideas. They are ideas because they can explain more than one thing. Is antibiotics a keyword? Maybe...but "low-wages" are definitely a keyword, because they can explain how labor is paid for in more than one industry (food, retail, prison, etc).

NOTE: You don't have to actually use the word "keyword" in your essays. You might use the word "ideas" instead - it depends on who you consider your reader to be.
