Project Time Line and peer review

-Your projects will be due on Thursday. This is the last day in class that we will work on them.

-Please note the VERY RARE extra-credit opportunity on the bottom of your timeline sheets.

-PEER REVIEW:

During a peer review, you are to give helpful advice. Simply saying, "everything's great!" without really looking at someone's work is not helpful and defeats the purpose of reviewing a peer's work.

Elaborate on responses--YES OR NO answers are also not incredibly helpful. EXPLAIN why you think a writer accomplished a certain task, or why you think they did not.

Offer advice--what CAN your peer do to fix an error or an unclear idea in their work?

-COVER ILLUSTRATION

When you have completed your peer review, you may start drawing a cover that goes along with your anthology's theme/title. Make sure the title is on the cover. Also, include: Collected by ___________(your name) as well.


CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH

-This is to be rather short, usually around 3-4 sentences. Restate your main message with this anthology and what people would be missing out on if they do not read it. Leave an impression.


MODEL: These stories not only contribute to our growing understanding of our native cultures, but also the idea that we have more in common with them than we realize. Without reading this collection, we miss out on an opportunity to empathize and even bond with these past cultures over the shame they've suffered as a result from the ever-present mischief-maker. In truth, everyone is invited to The Shame Game!
