Peer Review Talk to the writer. What are your intentions with this paper? What point are you trying to prove? Read one time through without writing anything down. Read a second time for reason and understanding. Point out where the supports are strong and where they need more. Focus on the “big stuff” during this time. Read again for grammar, spelling, and format errors. Write a final, summative letter to the writer. What worked? What didn’t? What changes do you recommend? Be specific. Be honest but polite.

Class Discussion PARTICIPATE! Use the questions as a guide, not a mandate. If you spark a debate, keep it going. Share the roles of “talker” and “listener.” Think before you speak. You can even write down your thoughts to help form them. Use textual evidence. Be respectful!
