By class time prior to the workshop class, you have read your peer’s work and written a response on a separate document in the peer’s folder. The response should have the following parts, and you should aim to use no more than 2 pages.
Explain what you found interesting, compelling, productive, enjoyable.
Explain what you see your peer “doing” in their draft. This part of the review is not for critique; it is meant to give the writer a sense of the reception of their work. You want to work to describe the content and organization specifically where it works and where you get confused or have questions.
Explain where the writer might focus their revision-energies. Think globally before locally. For example it is more important to determine that you can you follow the main purpose for the document throughout, than to offer that they check the punctuation.
