Literacy Narrative Peer Letters

Please create a reverse outline for your peers' papers. 

Write a letter that addresses these ideas:
* Does the writer relate a meaningful event about literacy/communication?  Does it reveal
something important about the writer and about literacy/communication?
*Is it clear why the incident matters?  This does not need to be one triumphant sentence that wraps it all up – it can be subtly included in the narrative.
* Is the event told clearly through specific details and careful choice of language?  Does the story make sense?  Is it well-told?
* Is the story focused and narrowed to a specific event?  Is the story well paced?
*Are vivid details included (how things look, smell, taste, sound, hear)?
*Are people and situations brought to life – as they should be in a narrative?
* Referencing the reverse outline - do the paragraphs all seem organized and focused?
