As students develop writing and presentation skills, peer feedback is a great way to help them advance their skills and self-assess. The key is to provide students with a structure to plan and provide feedback so it is useful and focused on the assignment. That’s where the peer-edited checklist comes in.
We created peer feedback graphic organizers that can be used with students in high school through high school. Combine these peer editing checklists with sentence-priming handouts or writing/editing checklists to maximize student learning through feedback.

Peer Feedback Graphic Organizer

Heart + Hammer (grades 3-5)
Students in elementary school are ready to start giving feedback. They have opinions but need help organizing their thoughts and reflections and how to provide positive and constructive feedback (not just what they think about their peers or reactions to drawings).
Use this Hearts + Hammers peer-edited checklist to help elementary educators organize their favorite things (hearts) and next steps their peers can take (hammers). When students provide feedback, they can use the Sentence-Starter Checklist along with a graphic organizer to provide feedback.

Mark Peer Editing Checklist (Grades 6-8)
In middle school, students gain a better grasp of what it means to give and receive feedback. Students can expand on feedback with questions and specific suggestions. Use this labeled graphic organizer to help middle school students have meaningful conversations with their peers.
By the time students reach high school, they can analyze the work of their peers to see how it aligns with the slogan. This graphic organizer prompts students to identify what they like about their peers’ work, suggest improvements, and pose a question to drive their peers’ thinking. Provide students with items with titles and graphic organizers to help shape their feedback.
Other worksheets
Sometimes students need additional support to have productive conversations or provide writing-specific feedback. Use sentence starters or writing checklists to help students craft feedback and provide specific writing feedback.
