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
