Since this is one of the first activities of this semester, take the first few moments after forming your workshop groups to introduce yourselves to each other.  Exchange phone numbers-- you need to begin developing a contact base for help with your work in this class.

Stage 3: Peer Review

1. Exchange Papers with your partner
2. Read your partner's paper
3. As you read, record points that your partners included in their summaries that you did not include in yours
4. Note each of the points that you both seem to have included
5. After reading and note-taking, discuss your strategies for writing--  what made each of you decide what was "important" to write about?

Reflection: If you were going to revise your paper now, what would you do differently and why?
