Peer response helps students learn how to give constructive feedback to others, an important life skill. "Responding to Writing: Peer to Peer" visits the classrooms of three teachers-fifth-grade teacher Jack Wilde, seventh-grade teacher Velvet McReynolds, and eighth-grade teacher Vivian Johnson-to explore various ways that teachers can structure student interactions, from whole-class responses to informal writing partnerships. Lessons and materials are available for download. [58:21]
