1. Straub advocates that readers see themselves as readers rather than as writers of what they're reading, so that "you're there to play back to the writer how vou read the paper" (para. 4). What are some ways readers can "play back" their experience of reading a piece to its writer?

2. A very common concern students have with peer response is that they're being asked to help another student write well for an assignment when the peer responders might not understand the assignment very well themselves. What advice does Straub offer that can help address this difficulty?

3. What does Straub mean when he writes "you're not a cruise missile" (para. 4)? What are some better metaphors for what you are, as a responder to others' writing?

4. If you've done peer-responding (or received peer response) before, it's likely you've had mixed experiences (both good and bad) with it. If there have been times peer response hasn't worked well for you, do you think following Straub's advice in this chapter would address the reasons it didn't go well? In your expe-mences, have there been difficulties with peer response that Straub doesn't discuss here? If so, what are they?
