This week will be focused on giving our peers feedback on their academic paper. As we give feedback, keep in mind the reading from Week 3, "How to Write Meaningful Peer Response Praise." You might even want to go back an re-read that essay for tips about how to phrase what the author is doing well. Also, don't forget that these drafts are first drafts, and our job is to help the writer develop their paper more fully.

Our reading this week is "How to Read Like a Writer" by Mike Bunn. In this essay, he makes the argument that reading as a reader and reading as a writer are different. He gives strategies for reading like a writer, including what specific questions to ask and answer while reading. 

In our peer review this week, we will use Bunn's suggested questions to read our peers' work like writers. Giving feedback to our peers in this way will help them develop their papers. It will also hone our reading and writing skills. This peer review will not be focused on grammar or punctuation. Instead, we will try to articulate to the writer what we understand of their argument and their evidence.
