Drawing on advice from Ballif et al. (2008), students in my graduate seminar write a publication quality book review of a recently published monograph in RC&amp;WS. After a series of priming activities, students engage in a structured peer review that follows guidelines I developed as book review editor at <em>Composition Studies</em>.</p> ER -
