In groups of three, you will help "tune" each other's projects using the following protocol for each person.
1. SHARE: Presenter will share the project with their group in whatever way works best. If it is a story or poem, let them read the draft. (Critiquers feel free to annotate the draft with specific questions and feedback. For images, share your sketch or storyboard, explaining the narrative elements thoroughly.
2. FRAME THE CRITIQUE: Presenters should frame the tune with a question or concern that they want their peers to think about. What are you struggling with? What is the emotional effect that you are trying to create for your reader? Where is your narrative headed?
3. QUESTIONS: Peers will barrage the presenter with questions about the project. Start with clarifying questions, and then move into open-ended questions that help the person think more deeply about what they are doing with their story. Use the rubric to generate ideas for questions.
4. OPEN DISCUSSION: The whole group discusses the project, offering suggestions for refinement and creative direction. What can the presenter do to bring their historical perspective to life and highlight the humanity in the history? Don't forget to address the presenter's framing concern/question.
WORK TIME: Continue Drafting
