Preparation Step1: Get into groups Note if you have extra people, make groups of 4, but that group’s timing will be ‘off’

Preparation, step 2: Prepare your reader Take out your copy of the PRC sheet, and on your own sheet: Highlight or circle several questions that you want the reader to give you specific feedback on. You may also write one or two questions for the reader to think about: For example: “Is my second body paragraph too long?” Or: “Can you suggest something to make paragraph 3 better?” Etc.

Preparation part 3: Reading and Thinking (1’ prep + 4’ reading per paper) [9’ total] Label your essay copies with your letter, A, B, or C. Pass a copy of your essay to each partner. Give your PRC sheet to the ‘main reader’ [C passes to A & B, etc.] Read (skim) BOTH your partners’ papers quietly For one partner, make some notes on their PRC sheet. Re-read the paper, paying special attention to the THESIS: Is there a TOPIC + PLAN/ PREVIEW/MAP (A+B+C) present? Is it one sentence? Is it a statement and not a question? If not, write one for them Prepare to speak…

Revising and editing Revise for unity (all parts relate to the main idea) Revise for adequate support (details support main idea; avoid circular reasoning) Revise for coherence (ideas flow smoothly and logically; use transition expressions) Revise for style (sentences are varied and interesting; use exact language and parallel structure) Edit for technical errors (grammar, spelling, punctuation, and mechanics; set aside your draft for a day or two; keep a list of your common errors in a grammar log – be are of and try not to repeat them in future writing)
