Read-Around for Rough Drafts.
Before turning in, write the genre of your paper at the top.

  1. Read the paper and use at least one comment code from each side. Make sure to write the code next to the example of it. (Draw an arrow if you have to.)  If it is a comment on the paper as a whole, put it at the end. You may use the same code as a previous reader, but you must find another example.
  2. Also write a one sentence comment at the end of the paper. This comment may be either a kudo or a suggestion. No negative comments - just suggestions! Number your comment.
  3. Pass on the paper to someone else.
  4. Each paper must be read 5 times. If you are the fifth person, bring the paper to me when you are finished. If the paper got a lot of kudos, let me know.
