To help foster a productive environment for group work, Elbow and Belanoff offer students advice on talking with one another about their writing in an 80-page SHARING AND RESPONDING GUIDE. The activities in this guide move from nonjudgmental kinds of responding to full criticism to help build students' confidence and trust. The guide contains two sample papers, which are used to illustrate different kinds of feedback. It concludes with a summary of ways of responding and suggestions on how and when they're most useful.
