Writing Groups (Virtual or In-Person)

Option 1: In-Person Writing Groups

  • Refresh: What are writing groups?
  • What kinds of discussion help writers most?
  • Follow the procedures to the right with your group. 
Option 2: Virtual Writing Groups
  • Go to Google Classroom 
  • Click on the link in the newest announcement (where it says I've invited you to a Peergrade class)
  • Copy and past just the text of your essay into the "Text" field on Peergrade (don't copy your name at the top or the charts at the bottom - just your written work!)
  • Give feedback on three of your classmates' essays
Essay Rubric:
How does your essay compare to the rubric?
What do you still need to work on?




Reminders: 
  • Final Draft of your Academic Honesty Essay is due this Friday.
  • Book review is due by TOMORROW (4/16) at the end of the class period. I'll give you some time in class, but if you want to do it at home, please do it tonight.
