How to do peer feedback1. Turn on “controlar alterações”2. Read through focusing on content (but don’t be afraid to

mark up the paper at this point)3. Use the rubric (same for Essay 9, 10 and 11), provide

scores and make comments.4. (If you cannot meet in person.) Go back and “screencast”

your explanation of the marks/comments you made on the draft.

5. You can use the rubric scores to help guide your feedback.6. You may use Portuguese if you prefer.7. Send feedback to peer(s) and me via email.

Rubric

• The rubric for all drafts (9, 10 and 11) is online.

• Pleas use a new rubric for each draft.

Screencasting Demo

• What you need: computer, microphone, YouTube account

• Download at www.screencast-o-matic.com• Be sure to “download + install” (I do not

recommend the web interface accessible using the “Start Recording” button)

• If you miss (or forget) today’s demo, a short demo is also available at the screencast-o-matic website.

Screencasting Tip: Use color codes

While reading through the peer’s paper the first time, you may notice things that you like, or that you think need rewording, or that you do not understand. It is best to “color code” these things you notice, and then change/comment on them as you screencast.

GREEN = “I like this”BLUE = “You should change this”PINK = “I don’t understand this”
