draft one google drive peer review

Using the Google Drive, we will trade essays and perform peer review. Follow the steps below carefully to first set up your document, then share it, then start the peer review:

Document setup:
  • Make sure your essay is saved as a google document in your essay 2 folder.
  • Save a copy of your existing draft two in your essay 2 folder, and title it "essay 2, draft 1, peer review" or something similar.

Document sharing:
  • Once you have the gmail address of your peer reviewer, open the document for peer review.
  • Click the blue "share" button on the far right.
  • Enter your peer's gmail address in the box at the bottom of the share window. Make sure that the "can edit" privileges are active.
  • Select "send" and then "done."

Document retrieval
  • In the main folder system of your drive, select the "shared with me" folder. You should see there the document from your peer. 
  • Open the document to prepare for the peer review.
Peer review tasks:
  • highlight all of the quotations throughout the essay
  • in two body paragraphs, highlight (in a different color) all of the verbs
  • in the same two body paragraphs, highlight all instances of "you" or "I"
  • add at least four comments to both of these two paragraphs. As you comment, remember to be specific, constructive, honest, and positive.
