1. Warming up with the ground rules of peer editing
- Rule #1: Be honest, but kind. Build trust.
- Rule #2: The first eight minutes at each station will be quiet; the last two minutes will be for talking about your feedback.
- Rule #3: Phrase your feedback in a way that suggests what the author can/should try (rather than criticizing them for failures).
- Rule #4: Follow the steps carefully. There are only ten minutes at each station; work efficiently.
- Rule #5: Be generous with your feedback.
2. Strengthening each other's essays by riding through the five editing stations
- Number them in the order in which you want to peer editor to address them. Which stations serve your greatest areas of need?
3. Wrapping up with goals for tonight and the weekend
HW:
1. Revise your essays based on today's peer feedback. You will want an updated draft tomorrow for our final editing day on style.
- If you were not able to peer edit today because your draft was unfinished, you need to find someone to edit your essay using the yellow packet.
- FINAL DRAFTS ARE NOW DUE TUESDAY, SEP 19 BY 3:00 IN www.turnitin.com
- Click HERE for directions on how to enroll in our Turnitin class.
- Contact me if you'd like help / detailed feedback on your rough draft. Tell me what you want me to focus on specifically. I need at least 24 hours to do this, so don't wait until Monday.
2. We will begin Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close next Tuesday; if you have your own copy, start bringing it to class then.
3. Open-note, open-friend "quiz" on subject-verb agreement tomorrow (bring your blue packet to class).
