Good morning everyone,

As you all know rough drafts are due today. Today you will have the opportunity to receive feedback from your peers on your rough drafts. Hopefully this will help you with your revision process.

Before you get into your groups, lets review the group procedures.

It is also helpful to refer back to the requirements of the writing assignment when giving your peers feedback.

Feedback can be hard to receive and difficult to give. So remember to be kind to each other.

One person from each group will be the ‘note-taker’. This person is responsible for reporting out what was discussed in the group.

In addition, each of you will receive a ‘group assessment’ sheet that you must fill out at the completion of their peer review process.

If you are finished early, please answer the following questions in your English journal:

1. What does revision mean to you?

2. Do you think revision makes your writing better?

3. Would you rather revise a paper you already wrote or write on a new topic?

Directions for the day:

1. After your computer is turned on, open the following three windows in your browser:

a. Writing group procedures (link is on the blog)

b. Your nature writing assignment document. (rough draft)

c. The nature writing assignment requirements. (link is on the blog)

2. Share your nature writing assignment document with ALL of the members in your group.

3. Complete the writing group procedures. ***Make sure the note-taker takes notes***

4. When EVERYONE is finished UNSHARE your document with your group members.
