If you are reading this, you have clicked on the link from the Rough Draft instructions. That is a good thing. If I were a student, you would be reading my paper right now, but this is just an example.

For peer evaluations, you can edit the page of the person whose paper you are reading and make comments in different colours. For example, if you click on the T with the colour pallet on the tool bar above, you can change the colour of your text. The colour that you choose sets it off from the author's original paper showing that it is your own comment.

Each person can make their own colour comments -- and did you notice that the 'number' associated with each colour is in Hexadecimal. Try typing in a hexadecimal number and see what colour you get.

You can also add a discussion area box at the bottom of your essay like this:

include component="comments" page="The Moral Problems of Euthanasia -- Rough Draft" limit="10"

To do that, go to Widget, and choose "Discussion Area". Easy.

If you want, you can make a video response, upload it to youtube and embed your video response as a peer evaluation. Use http://www.xtranormal.com for even more fun.

You could also include a POLL of your paper using SURVEY GIZMO widget or add an audio response. Play around with the widgets and see what you like best.

You do get a grade for peer evaluations. I do NOT want to set any expectations for the quantity or quality of the evaluations that you do as I don't want to limit your creativity or burden you with forcing you to do 7 peer reviews. Le'ts just say that by Tuesday's class, I'll give you a grade on Edline based on the quantity and quality of your peer evaluations and if you are unhappy with that grade, you can do more or better for Thursday's class -- when we'll cut off the peer evaluations so you can work on your final drafts.

Another idea for peer evaluations is to create your own form using google docs and embed the text into your essay's rough draft. Do NOT use the form below as the responses will get emailed to me and that won't do the author of the essay any good. So the info below is just an idea for you to put on your own rough draft page. So if you have a gmail account, log into it, go to google docs, create a new form that looks like the one below, then embed it into your page. You need to click on the widget tab, then choose "Other HTML". Copy and paste the code that you find on the google doc site under "More Actions" then "Embedded".

The code would look something like this:

You will want to embed your peer evaluation at the bottom of your paper. So **IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS, YOU WILL HAVE TO CREATE YOUR OWN FORM USING GOOGLE DOCS. YOU CAN USE THIS FORM AS A TEMPLATE. This option, however, does not allow me to see how many peer evaluations you have done. I'm still thinking about how to solve that problem.**
