Peer Review Activity
Respond to the two drafts you have been assigned for Peer Feedback, following these instructions:
- Follow the Canvas Documentation to find the drafts you have been assigned. Note that you must have turned in your draft on time to be assigned peer review partners.
- Write a response to each of the two drafts (Canvas Documentation) that includes the following information:
- Check the title of the site, and tell your partner if it is appropriate and professional.
- Check the site for the required content, and let the author know if anything is missing. You should find the following:
- Two blog posts
- An about page
- A site information page
- Working menus
- Professional sidebar(s)
- Two fully-developed writing sample pages
- Add comments on the content of the site. Comment on at least three things your classmate does well and at least three things that your classmate could improve on.
- If you notice any spelling errors, punctuation errors, or typos, you can mention them in your comments, but please focus more on the content than editing and proofreading.

- Revise your site based on the peer feedback you received, using the Canvas Documentation to find your peers’ feedback.
