Critique Breakdown:

Break-out rooms will be assigned with the hopes of no more than six (6) people per group.

~Hellos: 5-10 minutes

~Pick a timekeeper (someone to keep track of time)

~2-hour time limit (unless the group decides to continue longer)

~Divide time by the number of participants for a total time per author (around 6 per group)

~Between 15-20 minutes for you to display your work on your computer. Someone else can (and should) narrate so you can hear how it sounds

~The reader can critique first, last, or somewhere in the middle

~Everyone gives feedback, even if not sharing.

Things they liked, things that need work or might be confusing. If you have something you are looking for in particular, we can help with that as well. Like if you have a rhyming picture book, but something seems off. If you are wondering if you have a strong hook, etc.
