Reviewers… • Be helpful!!! • Offer more feedback than “It’s good.” or “I liked it.” • Tell the writer what parts of the paper worked for you as a reader. • Tell the writer what parts could be improved to make the paper more effective. • Read with the writer’s three major concerns in mind. Give feedback on those concerns. • Mark punctuation, spelling, and typographical errors as you read. If you aren’t sure, mark it anyway and then check the dictionary. • Write a note on the back of the paper that tells the writer specific comments about the paper. If you liked it, tell the writer what worked. If you see room for improvement, tell the writer what needs to be improved.

What? • What are you still concerned with in this paper? • What is your revision plan?
