Homework for Tuesday, February 19

For Tuesday, you will need to complete two tasks:

1. Bring a rough draft of your scene depiction essay to class. We will be discussing these and peer reviewing them during our time together.

2. Write 250+ words on the topic of peer review. Specifically, here's what I'd like you to address:

• What do you think the goal of peer review is or should be?
• Do you think peer review is helpful? Why or why not?
• As a writer, what do you want to know about your work? What kinds of feedback do you find most helpful?
• As a reviewer, what do you need (from both myself and the author) to provide the best feedback possible?
• What group sizes do you prefer (2 people, 5 people, etc.)?
• How long do you prefer to work on peer review projects?
• Would you like to pick your own groups or have me select the pairings?
• Any other peer review feedback/suggestions you deem relevant.
