Read the draft aloud or allow others to read it before beginning discussion.
Start with the authors’ questions or concerns. If some of their questions regard local level issues (grammar, style, word choice, document design), agree to address those later. Focus first on global issues, such as organization, clarity, emphasis, tone, and depth and breadth.
When responding to the authors’ questions, be specific in the feedback you provide. Point to particular passages in the draft, and offer specific suggestions for revision.
After you’ve fully addressed the authors’ questions and concerns, move on to the questions you have as readers. Again, be sure that your questions are specific, and that you’re referencing specific passages in the draft.
After you’ve addressed all of the global issues identified by the authors and readers, move on to local level concerns. During this stage it would be appropriate to comment on/discuss document design, grammar, word choice, etc.
