Peer Reviews and Exam Prompt

Today you will work with a partner in class and review each others narratives.  Chose a partner and switch papers. 

Once you switch papers, begin reading identifying any confusion, mistakes in grammar, etc. Once you both finish reading and marking the paper chose who will begin their critique first.  While the editor is giving feedback the partner is SILENT and listening to the feedback.  Please do not interrupt and allow them to give you CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.  Once they are finished, and only then, you can give your response or explanation.  Then switch roles.
