Read Around Process: 1. Writer gives each group member a copy of his/her essay 2. NUMBER the lines of each essay in the margin for fast reference (before the reader begins) 3. Writer reads his/her piece aloud to the group 4. Group members write and mark all ideas that come to mind on the draft. This may take some time and will be quiet...that's okay! 5. Share feedback! Writer makes notes to self, asks questions, asks for help in specific areas, gathers all the marked essays from the group and makes changes later!
