Peer Review Day

You have had some time to work on your narrative individually. Today, you will benefit
from the wisdom of your classmates.

The format of the Peer Review will be as follows:

-You will be in groups of 4.

-There will be 4 rounds.

-During each round you will have one job to do. (There are four different jobs -
everyone will get a chance to do each job one time.) These are the job descriptions:

Job #1 You will read your narrative to your peers.

Job #2 You will listen to a classmate’s story and comment on that author’s setting.

Job #3 You will listen to another’s story and comment on that author’s character
development.

Job #4 You will listen to a story and comment on the plot and conflict of the
narrative.

You will have a sheet to fill out for each story element. Your comments will help the
author improve his/her writing. Save your feedback! You will turn in the comments
from your peers with your published copy.
