WORKSHOP

Specific praises, written directly on the draft. Underline/highlight something that you
particularly like. Tell the writer why you liked it. Be specific. Be specific. Be specific.

Questions to elicit (generate) more detail. Ask questions that will encourage the writer to
explore an idea further, give more description, or clarify something that was unclear.
These are questions for the writer’s benefit, not for your own (Read: Everyone will ask at
least 2 questions).

Suggestion for improvement. If the author could only revise one aspect of the paper
before publishing it, what should s/he do? (Guide: For our purposes, imagine that
everyone automatically has a great editor who will fix spelling, grammar, and
punctuation. Don’t tell the writer about these things).
