The way I use this resource...

     In writing, I scaffold and model information to my students.  Each class is different and each year is different; therefore, I can't do everything the same each time I teach the same subject.  I start with the basic rubric and introduce 1-3 new concepts each essay.  Once I introduce a concept, I hold students accountable for the concepts I taught.  If it appears that the majority of the class does not understand the concept, I do not hold them accountable and I reteach the concept.  I try not to stifle their creativity by focusing on spelling, capitalization, and punctuation during the first two terms of school depending on the class.  I also can easily use the 6 traits of writing with the rubrics.  Make sure a topic that is relevant, relatable, and the reasons are researchable is chosen.

     Then I introduce the peer editing checklist.  I have students pair up and exchange papers.  I have clipboards students can use while they sit around the room for this activity.  It’s important for you to model for the students how to peer edit.  Many times students just want to be nice and not give feedback.  However, this is a great opportunity for students to read each others essays and learn from each other.  I try not to let the same students peer edit with each other every time in order for students to view a variety of styles over the school year.  Depending on the class, I may start the school year off by requiring a 5 paragraph essay and work our way up to a 7 paragraph.
