Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students self-assess a piece of writing against specific spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar guidelines.
Students conduct a peer edit of a classmate's writing using the same checklist criteria.
Teaching tips
Pair this checklist with any writing assignment as a revision step before a final draft is submitted.
Have students complete the self-edit column first, then trade papers to complete the peer-edit column with a partner.
Provide the assignment-specific 'success criteria' referenced in the Formatting row separately, since the checklist itself doesn't define them.
Skills covered
Self-editing — students check their own writing against specific spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar guidelines.
Peer editing — students review a classmate's writing using the same criteria and sign their name as the peer editor.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
What does the checklist mean when it tells students to check formatting against 'success criteria'?
The checklist doesn't define these criteria itself — it points students to a separate, assignment-specific success criteria the teacher provides for that piece of writing, rather than a universal formatting rule.
