Students observe (and understand) how the professor responds to a typical rough draft. Having seen the professor's criteria at work, students then use that example to respond to one another's drafts or to evaluate their own draft. Such responses are often tied to some sort of response sheet or form.

Here, the professor locates a typical rough draft and uses class time to model the most useful response to that draft. One simple way to handle this modeling is to put a paper on a transparency and use an overhead projector. PC users of Microsoft Word can show a paper via computer projection and use highlighting and Comment Insert, or they can put a paper in image format, open it with Microsoft Office Document Imaging, and use the pen function to write on the paper.
