Read the First Drafts and Responses

I've already responded to a few early-bird blog postings, so be sure to read them to get some ideas for how to respond to your group mates. Remember, empty praise is useless, especially on a first draft. Offer suggestions to help them improve their second drafts. Read what everyone else has posted--even for other groups--because that might give you some ideas for revising and polishing your own draft. Also, if you're responding to drafts I've already reviewed, please don't just agree with what I said. Come up with some additional words of specific praise and advice.
