ERWC Period 1

Tomorrow, Friday, is Peer Editing Day! In each class, students will have the opportunity to provide feedback on one to two student essays. Your essays will be blind scored. This means you will not know whose essay you are editing.  You will provide feedback on the essay's thesis/claim; the selection of textual support, and the essay organization structure; as well as diction choices and grammar and mechanics.
To prepare to give and receive feedback, please watch the following hyperlinked videos:
Collaborating as Writers: Peer Editors and Critical Friends
Otis College:Peer Writing Review Process
To review writing a character analysis, review this short video: How to Write A Character Analysis
You may bring snacks for tomorrow's class. Also dont forget to assign a private code or pin to your essay.
