Critique Rubric - Did you write a Pulitzer Prize critique, or does your critique belong in the recycling bin?

First: Read your critique out loud to the others at your table - groups of four, please. Move if you need to "grow" your group.

Second: Pass your paper to the student on your left. Read that paper and check for GUM - grammar, usage, and mechanics.

Third: Get your paper back and pass it to the student on your right. This student will use the check list to give you some good advice for revision.

******************

Return of essays - take a look at yours. Use the notes on the page to know what items to practice in the list from your on-line book.

Homework Finish the critique. It is due on Friday. You will submit the draft, peer editing sheet, and the final copy.
