__ Procedure __
 * Introduction: ** I begin by asking the class to turn in one of the three copies of their essay rough draft to the basket. Then I group them up in peer editing circles (10 groups of 3, if there are 30 students).
 * Independent Practice: ** In the groups, each student will receive two other students’ papers. They will have the whole class to edit their peers’ papers and look over their papers that have been edited by others.
 * Conclusion: ** Remind the class that the finals draft and both copies of their peer edited The Crucible Essay are due on Friday. Invite them to come into overtime any day this week to get help with their essay. If they did not turn in an essay, remind them that they can still do so for partial credit.

Assessment: Their essay drafts will be given a flat 25 point grade for turning a draft in on time. The peer reviewed drafts will be turned in on Friday, demonstrating knowledge of the revision process. A final draft will also be due that day and graded for content, format, grammar, and completeness.
