Writing Due at noon: Option A Group Cross-section peer reviews. Peer reviews for Dan (reviewer = Josh), Katie (reviewer=Jeffrey) and Alina (reviewer = Susan) due. Assignment: Read the most recent version of your peer review partner's paper (available in his/her forum folder) and then post a peer review response to your partner's draft in his/her forum folder by 12noon today. No official form required, but please write a response of at least 150 words that engages the success of the argument and the delivery of that argument. Remember to include praise as well as constructive criticism. If you are feeling at a loss about what to comment on, look at the questions on the peer review form you received on your first draft for inspiration. (This assignment is only for those students whose peer review partners have selected Option A - if your partner has chosen Option B, you have no assignment due today!)
