Description
What It Is:
A structured peer review checklist for essay writing that helps high-school students evaluate a classmate’s work in key areas such as introduction, paragraph structure, evidence, analysis, coherence, and writing mechanics.

• Partners read each other’s essays and evaluate each criterion using the table.
• Encourage reviewers to discuss strengths, weaknesses, and next steps for revision.
