You Metro Map Poem: The Revision Process

To edit our Metro Map poems

Participate in a peer review using proper critiquing guidelines

Step 1: Highlight your FAVORITE line. Why do you like it? Comment why you like it

Step 2: Underline your LEAST FAVORITE line/the line you want to improve upon. Why don't you like it? Put a comment next to it

Look for abstract language: love, hate, fear... replace those words with concrete language

Implicit language that conveys the abstract language

Compliment sandwich

Strong point, point of improvement, strong point

You are working with personal stories conveyed through poetry, be kind!!
