Feedback day

Today we will do peer reviews of your interview questions

At the end of the day, you will submit your questions to your teacher for approval!

What is a peer review? 

Officially: evaluation of scientific, academic, or professional work by others working in the same field.

For our purposes: conversations between classmates meant to give feedback on and improve your work.
