Peer Review

Please follow the directions for the peer review. Manage your time well as there will be only one class period to complete this assignment:

  1. Distribute a copy of your draft with each member of your group.
  2. Read your draft aloud to your group.
  3. Answer the questions below on a piece of paper.
  4. When everyone is done writing answers to the questions, discuss the answers each member developed.
  5. Repeat until everyone's draft has been read and discussed. Make sure each group member receives the written feedback at the end of the session.
Please note that no response and any version of "I don't know" are not appropriate responses to any of the questions. Any answers with the intention of being constructive have the potential to help in the revision process. Give it your best shot as this is a chance to develop your own feedback skills.
