The document provides instructions for students to engage in peer editing of their writing assignments. It directs students to share their Google Docs with their group members and teacher. It lists things for students to look for during the peer editing process, including keeping paragraphs short, using quotes on their own lines, avoiding first person pronouns, and using a consistent naming convention of last names after introducing a source by their full name. Students are told the teacher will provide suggestions during peer editing and that the final copies are due on Monday.
