Materials
Promethean Board
PowerPoint (to display objective and peer editing requirements)
Introduction (10 minutes)
There will be a warm-up assignment projected onto the Promethean Board, via laptop. Warm-ups are a
daily occurrence for the students, and a part of their classroom routine. Have you participated in peed
editing before?
Transition (2 minutes)
The teacher will ask the students if they have anything they need to turn in from the last class. If so, they
can pass those items up to the front of their rows to be collected. The teacher will go around ensuring that
all students have a rough draft.
Procedure (70 minutes)
Students will be placed into groups of 4-5. The teacher will review peer-editing requirements. (10 minutes)
Students will peer edit papers. (60 minutes)
Transition (2 minutes)
Students will be asked to wrap up any final thoughts.
Closure (6 minutes)
Students will discuss common advice they have given to their peers.
Modifications
ELL students will be given individualized attention as needed. ELL students will have access to electronic
and hard copy translators. ELL students will only have to write one-page papers.
Gifted and talented students will be allowed to make their revisions if they finish peer editing early.
Students with vision impairments will be seated in the front row, in order to see the days
agenda/objectives.
Time: 90 minutes
Reflections
Peer editing may pose an issue, because students may not bring in a rough draft at all. For students who do
not bring their work, the teacher will let them write their paper in the time being. The goal of today is for all
students to look at each others work and offer up suggestions. Students can learn more by working
collaboratively.
