Reader Review Cover Letter (For All Essays)

Reader Review Cover Letter

For every Reader Review, in order to contextualize for your reader, you will include a cover letter. This will give them an idea of what you are presenting to them, so that they are better able to respond to your essay. Have the following headings and fill them in for your cover letter. Attach to the front of your LE on Reader Review day. This is part of your grade.


Purpose: Here you should describe the point of your paper. Briefly, what exactly are you trying to do? What was the point of the assignment, and specifically how you went about it (do not just rehash my words from the assignment sheet: what do you understand the purpose to be)?

Audience: Who is the audience of this essay, and how did this shape your process?

Process: Explain what process you went through in writing this paper, including how you found your research, how you used the Writing Explorations, and how you put everything together.

Desired Feedback: Describe the type of feedback you want from your Reader Reviewer. Do you want them to be brutally honest, or do you prefer constructive criticism? Also, come up with three questions (that do not have a yes or no answer) that will help you get feedback that you can use. What exactly are you concerned about?
