April Niemela's 4 part Peer Revision sheet, is the model I am going to use to help my seniors do a writer's workshop on their 1 1/2 - 2 page Senior Project Reflective Essay. The first reader will just look at FORMAT. At the senior level this would mean MLA format. In grade school, it might mean looking to see if all sentences start with a capital letter and end in a period.
The second reader would look for sequence. I can envision helping visual learners by giving students highlighters. The topic sentences could be highlighted and the supporting details numbered.
The third reader is responsible for mechanics. I will give them an editing handout and have them use common proofreading symbols.
The fourth reader looks for fluency and organization. I am going to have them highlight the first word of every sentence. That way they can quickly see how many short, choppy sentences in a row they have and notice if they start multiple sentences with the same word. This will work for all grade levels.
