Before You Start

Before you begin this session, make sure that you have copies of all the materials needed for each student. In addition, you should decide how you want your students to finalize their drafts: by hand, or on Google Docs or similar. If you choose the latter option, before this session, you should ensure that each student will have access to a computer with Internet during class—and that they’re set up with an email address that can give them access to Google Docs. If you use Google Classroom, you can create an assignment ahead of time to share with your students; the naming convention is listed below.

Your students will also be spending the second half of this session in small groups or partnerships giving feedback—if it would be helpful to create the groups ahead of time, make sure you do so before the session begins.
