If you are still unsure of the paper’s direction (or feel the paper isn’t well organized), you may want your classmates to use organization feedback to give you some structural/organizational ideas. By using organization feedback, the peer reviewer looks for the general overall structure of your paper.
The key to such peer review centers on the paper having clear organization and support: (1) the writer must present a clear thesis that makes a thematic claim about the literary work, and (2) the paper must then provide support for that thesis by demonstrating how the work artistically achieves that theme using race and ethnicity theory.
