Revision Activity for Legislative Article

Yesterday, we worked together on peer-editing the legislation article. You should have been provided with a peer review that did the following:

1. In a couple of sentences, summarize what info. was well-developed and which ideas need additional support
2. In a couple of sentences, identify places where the organization or LTQT format of the writing is weak, and provide suggestions
3. Provide THREE questions or suggestions for extending and developing the discussion in the article

Today, you need to revise and supplement your coverage of the article. As you write, highlight your changes, and let me know which corrections are the result of feedback you got from the person who peer edited your paper. 

NOTE: You need to address at least one of the suggestions/ questions your partner provided in part three of the peer edit. One of the most important parts of news writing is to anticipate the questions, concerns, or implications raised by the news discussion and provide this coverage to the reader.

Peer Editing Activity for Legislative Article

Writing about these complex, developing issues can me more challenging than a typical article.  Today, we're going to do some peer-editing and have an opportunity to revise and develop the discussions in our articles.

Step One:  Read the article all the way through ONCE. You can jot some notes down on paper, but limit your time. After all, newspaper readers don't typically reread the news.  

Step Two: Once you are done, close out of the document (or shut the Chromebook) and answer the following to the best of your ability:

• What basic information about the legislation do you remember?
• The bill name or title?
• What does the legislation do?
• What problem does it attempt to solve
• What kind of progress has recently been made?
• How will the law be implemented? By whom?
• Who supports the bill and why?
• Who opposes the bill and why?
• What is going to happen with the legislation in the near future?

Step Three: When you answered the questions, you probably didn't have all the information requested in part two. There are three possibilities for why this is the case:

• The information just wasn't there
• The information was there, but was not presented in a clear, organized way
• You simply couldn't recall because of the brief reading you gave the bill

Good news writing addresses ALL of the three possible weaknesses. When we write articles we need to 

1. Do the necessary research so we can present a complete understanding of the issues we cover
2. Organize the information clearly to support reader understanding
3. Draw attention to the main ideas we present with a summary lede and transition sentences that support reader understanding of content despite the quick reading news usually gets.

Step Four: Provide feedback / suggestions that might help the writer address the weaknesses of the article.  

1. In a couple of sentences, summarize what info. was well-developed and which ideas need additional support
2. In a couple of sentences, identify places where the organization or LTQT format of the writing is weak, and provide suggestions
3. Provide THREE questions or suggestions for extending and developing the discussion in the article.
