One Example of a Peer Workshop Process Before the workshop, each author should spend several minutes generating requests for support (#1 below). Identify specific elements you need help on.

Would you like to read all the drafts first, then discuss, or go one at a time? Should the author respond to feedback or just listen? What anxieties do you each have about sharing your writing? How will you provide feedback that is both critical and kind? How will you demonstrate respect for your peers?
