Peer Critique/Review of Finished Work
This is a fabulous tool for having kids review each other's work, or for the teacher to critique. The two stars are for two compliments of the work, and the wish is an "I wish you would have..." It's a gentle way to correct students. This is a very versatile form! I like to vary how my kids use it - sometimes a group reads a piece and decides together, or sometimes it's individual. Enjoy!
