Workshop Handout

Workshop

In order to get credit for your workshop responses, they most conform to these rules. Please use this as a checklist as you respond:

Write your name in the subject line of your myASU post.
Respond to your 3 group members.
Sign your name to the document. Choose "Tools" pull down to "Options" and choose "User Information." Type your name, initials, and email address. These come up on your comments and allow me to give you credit for the workshop.
Respond using the Reviewing features in Microsoft Word. This means putting “Comments” on the document using the “Insert Comment” icon on the “Track Changes” toolbar. (Don't use "Highlight" to put yellow marks on the page and don't write longer comments in the text of the document.)
When you are the second, third, or fourth person to read a student's work, add your comments to the document that the previous reader saved. Each person should only have to open one document to read all sets of comments on their work.
Write at least 3 suggestions for revision. These must be content comments. Use the workshopping handout to address writing elements such as tone, theme, characters, voice, imagery, figurative language, musical devices, etc. (Don't make nitpicky comments over typos or grammar or spelling.)
