You have written the rough draft of your argumentative essay– congratulations! Your next step is peer editing. Share your essay with at least one other student. In turn, that person should share their/her/his essay with you.

You also need to share this "Peer Editing Rubric" with your peer whose essay you're editing. Here is how to do that:

1. Download this document and open it.

1. If the document opens as a Word document, you need to click “File” in the upper right corner, and then “Convert to Google Doc.” Then, the document should automatically open in Google Docs.

2. Once you have this document open in Google Docs, press the blue “share” button in the top right corner of the screen. Type in the names of the people whose essays you are editing.

1. If their names don’t show up, have your peers type their emails into the textbox and share the document with them that way.

If you try to share the document with peers but are unable to do so, I can help you when I return to school. In the meantime, today move on to the peer editing process. (You can still edit a peer's essay without sharing the rubric with them.)

Here's how to do the assignment:

1. Read through the rubric in the "Peer Editing Rubric." I will be using this rubric to grade students' final drafts, so you should keep these criteria in mind while editing your peer's essay.

2. Read your peer's essay. Use the "comment" feature in Google Docs if you know how to. Otherwise, make suggestions on the "Peer Editing Rubic" document under the rubric.

3. Once you are finished reading the essay, score your peer using the rubric. For each category ("structure," "completeness," etc.), you need to highlight the words in the box that most accurately describes what you noticed in your peer's essay. Please take a look at this EXAMPLE of a completed "Peer Editing Rubric" so you will know what I am looking for from you. :)

4. When you are finished scoring your peer's essay using the rubric, please take time to discuss your peer's essay with them. Share your suggestions, and explain why you scored them as you did on the rubric. You may temporarily move seats in order to discuss with your peer, if needed.

5. Make sure to SUBMIT the completed rubric to this assignment posting so I can give you points for completing the assignment.

Thank you for taking time to engage in peer editing! :)
