Part Three: Research and Argumentation 387 Guidelines for Peer Workshop Before beginning the Peer Workshop and revision process, I recommend consulting the Revision Concepts and Strategies Appendix. In your Peer Workshop group (or based on your teacher’s directions), establish a process for workshopping that will work for you. You may find the flowchart titled “Establishing Your Peer Workshop” useful. 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. Here are a few examples: I’m worried that my voice is being overwhelmed by other voices in the conversation. How do you think I can foreground my ideas? Do you think my conclusion is convincing? What do you think my call-to-action should be? Do you see anywhere that I could better cultivate pathos ? Establishing Peer Workshop Process: Do you prefer written notes, or open discussion? 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?
