Practice Instructions Project
The Practice Instructions Project ask you to analyze one of the assigned historical records of Asian practice, paying attention the interaction of the three elements of culture. You then draw on what you learned to write and/or draw a set of instructions that could be used to facilitate the similar contemporary practice described in the relevant scenario.
Step 4: Peer Review & Analysis of Peer Comments
Once you have completed Steps 1-3:
- bring a printed copy of all the background materials generated so far (Practice Research Form, annotated reading & the Planning Worksheet (PW);
- make sure your PW includes the last two "Peer Review" pages;
- exchange your background materials with a team member or someone else in the class.
NOTE: If for any reason you are not able to have someone else in the class review your PW, you can also (i) find a friend or family member who would be willing to read and comment on the paper; or (ii) make an appointment to have your work reviewed at the Writing Center in Calaveras Hall, Room 128.
You will now need to
- review your classmate's materials and return them to her or him the next class period
IMPORTANT: make a BACKUP PLAN for exchanging materials in case one of your misses the next class.
- THE ALL-IMPORTANT FINAL STEP: fill out your portion at the end of the Peer Review section, which asks you to analyze (i) which reviewer comments are mos helpful; (ii) what you will do about them; and (iii) other needed clarifications based on your own rereading.
Assessment: A completed peer review of the background materials (Steps 1-3), including the writer's analysis of the reviewer comments, will receive 25 out of the total number of points for the assignment; this assessment will be made at the time the background materials are turned in with the final report (Step 5). No partial credit will be given; unreviewed or incomplete materials will be returned without points.
