Materials for Teaching Workshop on Supporting Peer Response Across the Semester

Opening questions to tackle our prior knowledge:

• What are your reasons for using peer response? What is/are the purpose(s) of peer response in your composition class?
• What strategies for peer response have you tried before?

Goals for today:

• Working on making our *purposes* for peer response match our *practices* for peer response.
• Working on setting the groundwork for effective peer response through attention to conditions for learning.
• Working on scaffolding peer response work throughout the semester to give students more practice and responsibility over time.

Materials:

• Cambourne’s conditions of learning diagram
• Handout on a) scaffolding with attention to conditions of learning and b) sketching plans for peer response
• Example of peer response directions for discussion
• Example of strengths-based peer response activity
• Links to WSU Teaching Blog posts on peer response
