About this resource

The worksheet records the writing partner, piece title, a revision added after discussion and positive observations. Model specific, helpful feedback before students meet. After talking, let writers record what they changed and their own positive observations.

Curriculum reference — Ontario: Responding to peer feedback with a revision supports Ontario Grade 3 revising and England Year 2 evaluation; only selected components are covered. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
