Essay Introduction Peer Review

Read the practice introduction below. Then use the review questions to give specific, kind and useful feedback. Point to words or sentences as evidence. If you are reviewing a classmate’s introduction, use the same checklist and keep your comments respectful.

Practice introduction

In the play The Lighthouse Keeper’s Choice by Mira Thompson, a storm forces two neighbours to work together. When the lighthouse lamp goes dark, Hana wants to risk crossing the harbour to find help, while Tom argues that they should stay safe. Their disagreement reveals how fear can shape people’s choices, but their shared responsibility for the town brings them closer. The play suggests that courage is not the absence of fear; it is choosing to help others despite it.

Peer review checklist

Answer about the practice introduction, or apply each question to a classmate’s introduction. Use the model answers as a guide; responses about another introduction will vary.

1.Which details identify the play and its writer?
2.In one sentence, summarise the main situation without retelling every detail.
3.Name one event and one character introduced in the opening. How do they help set up the play?
4.Which sentence connects the characters’ disagreement to an idea about people? Explain the connection.
5.What might make a reader want to continue reading this play? Give one detail from the introduction.
6.Choose the most useful peer comment about the introduction’s main idea.
  • The final sentence explains a possible message about courage.
  • This is good because I like it.
  • Use more words in every sentence.
  • The introduction should tell the whole ending.
7.Find a phrase that shows contrast between Hana and Tom. What does it tell you about their different viewpoints?
8.Read this sentence: “The neighbours was worried about the storm.” Rewrite it with correct grammar, then name the change.
9.Write one specific strength-focused comment about the practice introduction. Include evidence from the text.
10.Suggest one improvement that would help a reader understand the introduction better. Explain why it would help.
