7. Responders
Carefully read the essay you are reviewing, noting
only obvious typos or other errors by underlining. You
do not need to comment. Do not ask the writer
questions. If you don’t understand the essay, tell the
writer in response to the revision guide or in the
margins.
Answer the revision guide questions on another sheet
of paper or on the back of the writer’s essay.
Refer to the parts of the essay the writer has
identified in order to respond appropriately.
Be thorough.
8. When you finish
Return the essay and your comments to the
writer.
While you wait for your essay to be returned,
answer the revision guide questions for
yourself.
When you receive your essay, look at the
feedback. Think about how you will revise your
essay.
Begin the revision process.
9. The blogging post points (125) require self-
assessment. Consider three aspects of your
responses: First, how many of the posts did you
make? Second, what was the quality of your
response? Third, how timely were your
submissions? Write a paragraph or two justifying
your grade. You may submit this to me by email
as soon as you finish post 19, but you must send
it before class 19.
