Closely read, critique, and offer revision and editing suggestions for at least 4 of your classmates’ original creative nonfiction pieces. Offer line-by-line suggestions in parentheses, specific areas that require revision, and a 100-word balanced summation with your assessment of the strong components for each of the submissions you review. Your 4 responses must not devolve to generic praise (e.g.: “great job, Jimmy”). The purpose of this workshop is for you and your classmates to offer detailed feedback regarding what works/ does not work in the original pieces of writing. As a peer editor, you must attempt to elucidate the poetic elements and forms which are applied in your peers’ original poems.
