Today is peer feedback day. The goal is to provide constructive feedback that will help one another develop the projects further. We will follow this plan for the feedback:

• We will rearrange in the classroom so at least one person giving feedback is someone who hasn’t been sitting near you as you worked on the project.
• Feedback groups will take turns following this process:
  • I will set the timer for 15 minutes so each person gets roughly the same amount of feedback.
     
  • The project author will introduce the project, giving a summary of the project’s rhetorical situation, using the questions on pp. 111–112 of Writer/Designer. You need to be ready to explain about your audience, purpose, and design choices.
     
  • The people giving feedback will read and explore the project, using the guidelines in the section of the book on “Providing Feedback as a Stakeholder” (pp. 112–115 of Writer/Designer) to structure their comments.
     
  • When the timer goes off, you will switch and another project author will introduce her work.
     
• Once everyone has received feedback on her project, you will each write a first draft of your revision plan for the project as your blog post for the day. See pp. 116-118 of Writer/Designer for details on writing a revision plan. If your project is online in a place where I can see it, please be sure to include the link in your revision plan.

Homework/Class Plans

For Thursday, 04/17

• Read Chapter 8 of Writer/Designer for details on how to set up the final version of your project. I want you to know the parameters you need to think about before you have to make your decisions.
• Review the section of the Project 3 Assignment that talks about your oral presentation. We’ll spend time during the 04/17 session talking about your oral presentations so that you can begin thinking about what you will share and say.

For Tuesday, 04/22

• You will have time to continue work on your project, implementing your revision plan.
• You will sign up for an oral presentation time slot.
