For our penultimate class meeting of the 4 and 6 o’clock sections, I handed out instructions for submitting essays to Blackboard for ITW submissions, answered questions about the final draft of the semester-long project, we did peer review of 15-20 page drafts, listened to the third and final podcasts by students about Baghdad Burning, and students filled out evaluation forms.

Peer Review Method: 1) Carefully read your classmate’s essay. 2) Identify two of the elements from the Grading Standards Sheet that they’re doing well with and the highlight the parts of the essay that demonstrate that. 3) Identify two of the grading standards elements that you think they could most fruitfully work on. 4) Write your classmate a half page note (on notebook paper or on their essay) explaining what two standards they’re doing well on and why you think so, and what two standards they could work on, and why you think so. Sign your name return the essay to your classmate.
