Peer Review tasks A good writer knows how to read and revise a text. In this class, you will have a chance to work closely with your classmates in giving, and receiving, peer feedback to make your revising better. This is a required part of the class and I will help you develop your peer reviewing skills. Sometimes you will be assigned HW outside of the writing assignments. These assignments must be completed before class, and you are responsible for bringing them to class with you.
