Instructions: The class will be divided into peer groups of three or four students. I will circulate descriptions and outlines by 5:00pm Tuesday evening. (Materials are due to me by 10:00am)
Peer Review Tasks PRIOR TO CLASS:
- Print up a copy of each peer author’s description and outline, annotate and bring them to class for the writing workshop on Wednesday, November 7th.
- Fill out the Peer Review Excercise for each member of your group. Respond in at least 2 or 3 sentences to each of the prompts for each member of your group. No “Yes” or “No” responses, please.
- The Peer Review Exercise is a .doc and you should type your responses directly into the document.
- Print up 2 copies of the completed Peer Review Exercise (for each peer). One copy is for me and the other one is for your peer.
Peer Review Tasks IN CLASS:
- Each member of the group should briefly (2 minutes or so) describe their goals for their essay, as well as aspects that they’d like feedback on.
- The rest of the group should then respond to the student author’s comments and to the essay and outline, drawing upon their comments on the peer review exercise.
