First we will review homework 6 since many of you seemed to struggle with this assignment. Additionally, we will discuss difficulties you may be having with this class. I hope you, as a class, will provide me with suggestions that I can incorporate into my teaching to help you learn better and make the class more interesting.
The rest of the day will revolve around peer review. Peer review will begin by watching a short demonstration on successful and unsuccessful peer reviews.

After the demonstration, open up your 5-paragraph essay about smoking in movies. I will have all of you switch computers. You will spend some time reading your peers' papers and giving comments, suggestions, and constructive criticism on their work by following the suggestions in the video. At the end of the class return to your computer. Save the file as DiagnosticPeerReview_FirstName LastName Then upload the file to your ESL 114_FirstName LastName folder.
You will have the weekend to work on your final version of the diagnostic. The final version will be due Sunday, September 19th at 11:59 PM.
