The Peer Response Presentation

The two videos below are recordings of the skits we use during peer response presentations. Between each skit, we engage the class in a discussion about the effectiveness of each response session. We've also included the two handouts we bring to classes for the peer response presentation: first, a copy of the essay from the videos so that the class can follow along; second, a handout of tips for approaching peer response sessions.

Writing Support at UNH

  • WI Faculty Retreat, sponsored annually by the Dey Family gift fund.

Provide your support to the UNH Writing Programs by contributing to the Dey Family Fund, an endowment established in 2001 by the generous spirit of the Dey Family with the purpose of supporting Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) at the University of New Hampshire. These funds allow for opportunities to sustain and grow the Connors Writing Center as well as fulfill avenues of faculty development, such as the annual WI Faculty Retreat.
