Day 9 - Learning how to peer review


Warm-up questions:

  • Do you like other people to read your work?
  • Have you ever had a peer review before? (if so, did you like it or not and why?)
  • What are the goals and/or benefits of peer reviewing?

Sample comments

P-Q-P
Praise - What is good about the writing? (overall)
Question - As a reader, what didn't you understand?
Polish - What specific suggestions for improvements can you give?

Sample peer review essay

Give feedback using this guide:
- Read it through once
- Try to state the main idea and underline their thesis statement
- What can you praise?
- Question anything you do not understand
- Can you help the writer polish?
