Peer Review and Revision
Grade 7 · English Language Arts · Writing · New Brunswick, Canada
Lesson Summary
Give and receive constructive feedback to improve your writing.
Explanation
Peer review is the process of reading a classmate's work and providing helpful suggestions. Good feedback is specific, kind, and focused on how the writing can improve rather than just pointing out what is wrong. When you receive feedback, consider each suggestion carefully and decide which changes will strengthen your work. Revision means re-seeing your writing with fresh eyes—reorganizing ideas, clarifying sentences, and polishing word choice.
Practice Questions
Q1: What is the difference between editing and revising?
Answer: Revising focuses on big-picture changes like organization, ideas, and clarity. Editing focuses on surface-level corrections like grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Q2: Give an example of constructive feedback versus unhelpful feedback.
Answer: Constructive: 'Your second paragraph could be stronger with a specific example.' Unhelpful: 'This paragraph is bad.'
Q3: Why is it valuable to have someone else read your writing?
Answer: Another reader can catch confusing parts, missing information, or errors that you might miss because you are too familiar with your own work.
