Content Draft Peer Review
Prompts
Here, since you’ll be seeing a rough draft, be sure to focus on big picture issues—narrative elements (plot, setting, characters), structure/organization, etc. No need to line edit for your peers. Since you’ll still be revising and finalizing content, a lot can still change. We’ll tackle polishing (editing and proofreading) after revision, once you’re mostly happy with the story.
- What’s the story about?
- What’s working well?

Round 2
Quicker feedback in response to the prompts above, focusing especially on the writer’s questions and providing a couple additional comments to guide the writer’s work. Think about 10 minutes.
