Peer Editing for Expository Essay

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

You're class just finished writing an expository essay! Instead of having them do a self-edit, pair them up and give each person this guide. This is not your average peer editing checklist; it is a list of 35 things to look for in your partner's paper. Are there inconsistent verb tenses? Do all of the paragraphs support the thesis? How many sentences are in each paragraph?
