The Workshop

Peer editing is a big part of the writing process, and this worksheet will really help guide both editor and writer. Class members read brief editing tips and examine examples of helpful and not-so-helpful comments. (Consider projecting this document instead of simply handing it out.) The focus is on specific and constructive comments, and there are five short-answer questions to guide the editor. This is part of the National Novel Writing Month project, so if your kids are embarking on this journey, be sure to look at the rest of this thorough unit.
