5-Paragraph Essay Peer-editing or Revision Stations | Editable

Help your students provide helpful, focused feedback with these 5-paragraph Essay Peer-editing or Revision Stations! These stations will guide your students through the process of providing critiques that are actually helpful.

Included are four stations that each focus on a different aspect of the 5-paragraph essay: essay structure, citation checking, proofreading, and diction and fluency.

Before and after peer-editing or revision, essay authors will complete a reflection and will be able to ask editors for feedback on a specific part of their essay.

In the first station, students will highlight the major components of the essay structure: the thesis, claims, evidence, and reasoning. Then they will answer questions related to the essay's structure.

In the second station, students will match and label in-text and full citations. The included worksheet guides them through checking citation formatting and proper quotation use.

In the third station, students will use proofreader's marks to review the essay's mechanics. Their worksheet will guide them through looking for the most common errors.

The fourth station focuses on diction and fluency by asking students to annotate any vague words and transitions with colored pencils. Students are asked to give the author recommendations for improving both.

The included teacher's guide provides seven pages of guidance from different ways you can run your station to common issues that may arise to step-by-step prep.

For these stations, you will need to also provide highlighters and colored pencils.

During the activity, you can keep the activity structured with a step-by-step directions slideshow. Two versions are included: one for stations in which students read four different essays, and on for stations in which students only edit one essay.

Students will also have a checklist to fill out as they move through stations. This will keep students focused on completing all four tasks and provide you a record of who edited whose essay.

Also included are supplemental resources to leave at the stations. This can be used as references for students if they have questions.

This activity works best with printed essays in MLA format. The directions slideshow, stations directions, worksheets, and checklist are all editable, so you can tweak, delete, or add stations to best suit your and your students' needs.
