Overview: <\/strong>This packet of peer response handouts and activities helps students give and receive feedback as engaged readers rather than evaluators. It emphasizes describing one\u2019s reactions to a text\u2014what works, what confuses, and why\u2014so writers can revise with a clearer sense of audience response.<\/p>\n

Uses: <\/strong>Supports productive peer review by shifting focus from rule-based editing to meaningful reader feedback. Builds students\u2019 confidence as responders, helps writers anticipate audience reactions, and creates a foundation for stronger revision.<\/p>\n

How to use it in class: <\/strong>Introduce the peer response guidelines before the first workshop and review the procedure briefly before later sessions. Have students upload drafts to Google Docs, comment following the reader-response model, and complete an oral response activity when useful for idea development. Use the handouts to guide expectations, structure sessions, and model constructive, respectful feedback.<\/p>\n
