Peer Editing Checklist Review and Feedback Sheets for Multiple Writing Genres

Make peer editing and review focused and effective for your students with these feedback sheets. Rather than using checklists that often result in shallow, vague suggestions, teach the elements of writing with focused tasks that challenge your students to find evidence from the paper.

Students will provide better peer reviews, understand the writing requirements as they analyze a peer’s paper, and be able to analyze their own writing more effectively.

Each editable task sheet focuses on a specific writing component.

Here's what you get:

20 different comment sheets that help peer reviews identify:

• Identifying focus -- What’s the big idea
• Organization
• Rhetorical devices
• Supporting facts, examples, and details
• Sentence structure & variety
• Purpose & audience
• Voice
• Word choice
• Transitions
• Introductions & conclusions
• Using ideas from various sources
• Works cited & parenthetical citation
• Embedded quotes
• Narrative Writing
• Persuasive Writing
• Argument Writing
• Response to a literary or expository text
• Research
• Opinion Writing
• "Build your own" feedback form

Reasons to love this lesson:

• each form is editable so you can customize them
• Aligned with CCSS and TEKS
• Perfect for mini lessons – teach and students can apply to their own papers or those they review
• More than a checklist! Students need to prove what they know by finding evidence from the paper
• Perfect for differentiation and scaffolding
• Ready to use! Just print the pages you need!

What teachers are saying:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I love the variety of options for peer review. This made it applicable to almost any writing assignment. Students were able to use the questions to give genuine feedback on their classmate's writing and even helped their classmates catch mistakes that they wouldn't have found on their own. I plan on using this resource for years to come."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This resource was the answer I have been looking for regarding most of my peer-editing needs. I've tried so many different formats for peer-editing and revisions, and I've never been 100% happy with how it goes. This resource, especially the editable version of the checklist was PERFECT for multiple classes that I teach. For my sixth graders, I was able to print out a packet of checklists and have students rotate to a classmate's seat where they could provide feedback on that person's writing. In one class period, students had substantial and actionable feedback from 5 or 6 classmates, and they had each seen examples of their classmates' writing. Such a helpful resource that I will be using again!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I have always believed in and done peer editing sessions. I spent too much time looking for just the right one. I liked that this had enough white space to not be overwhelming. Once I got into it with the students I appreciated the focused approach and tasks set before the kids."

This resource works well with these resources:

• Writing Workshop "Note from your Teacher" Feedback Forms & Rubrics
• Opinion Writing: This is the Best / or Worst Book in the Universe
• Expository Writing Journal
• Writer's Notebook for Argument or Persuasive Writing
