We'll be reading, as usual.
Goal #1: Revision
While some of you may have gotten good advice from some of your peers yesterday, we need to take a step back and work in smaller steps.
Today, you will work with partners. You should all be with new people. With these partners:
- One person will read their personal statement to their partner.
- The listener identifies at least one piece of praise, one question, and one wish about the reader's personal statement.
- Trade roles.
- After this process, I will give you all a copy of the rubric. Identify where your partner falls in each category on the rubric, and give some suggestions for how your partner could improve their score. I would recommend trading computers so that you don't have to worry about sharing it with them.
Goal #2: Reflection
When you return to your seats, after you've put your netbooks away, I have a small piece of reflective writing to ask of you. I will give you paper.
- What worked well and what didn't work well in today's process of peer editing (being assigned a partner, reading, sharing suggestions, looking at the rubric)
- What is working/not working in your personal statement?
- What is your plan for fixing/improving upon those issues?
