SPARK Peer Review Feedback Form- Worksheet AND Google Form

This is a wonderful activity to give your students during a project or more heavily weighted assignment. Often times our students do not have the tools to give proper feedback to their peers in a meaningful and productive way. This strategy is applicable for any subject an almost all grade levels.

The S.P.A.R.K. method is actionable, easy to understand, structured, and gives your students the confidence to provide feedback that isn't just "I like it."

From the author:

" My stronger writers say that they almost never receive feedback that goes beyond basic conventions, while my emerging writers say they feel a lack of confidence in providing feedback beyond basic conventions. This frustration should be no surprise: As educators, we recognize that effective teaching is a complex skill that requires deliberate practice. Likewise, when we ask students to give each other feedback, this too is more complex than simply exchanging papers and locating errors.

To make peer feedback more focused and meaningful, I’ve found it helpful to define quality feedback, provide structured routines, and teach feedback as I would any other core skill."
