Peer Review Strategies - November 15, 2004

Exchanging work with peers to receive feedback is common practice in the workplace, and is used increasingly in schools. Teachers use peer review in their classrooms most often to increase the amount of feedback students receive on writing. The short-term goal of peer review is to help students compose their best final draft of a paper. The long-term benefit is to help student writers give and receive constructive criticism in an environment of active learning.
