Example Output

Peer Review Workshop — Argument Essay Drafts

Goals

Students will identify one strength, one evidence gap, and one revision priority in a peer's draft using the class rubric.

50-Minute Agenda

1. 5 min — Review norms: be specific, be kind, reference the rubric.

2. 8 min — Teacher models weak vs useful feedback.

3. 15 min — Partner A reads thesis and evidence aloud; Partner B annotates.

4. 15 min — Switch roles.

5. 7 min — Each student writes a revision commitment.

Feedback Stems

- "Your strongest claim is ___ because ___."

- "I got confused when ___; could you add ___?"

- "The evidence supports your point better if you explain ___."

Revision Commitment

Before next class, I will revise ___ because my peer noticed ___. I will know it improved when ___.

Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Paste the rubric if you have one; peer feedback improves when students review against explicit criteria.
  • 💡Ask for sentence stems for your students' age and confidence level.
  • 💡Require a revision commitment so the workshop does not end as polite comments with no action.
