Lesson tips
This lesson uses the feedback from the previous session. If you have the capacity to do two sessions a week, Weeks Seven and Eight work well in close succession.
Students will need access to their previous feedback, so make sure it is accessible beforehand.
Students will be adding to their writing in this lesson. If they are not accustomed to this process, you may want to instruct them on adding to previously written material. Caret editing marks or sticky notes both work well.
You most likely will not have feedback from a peer but will be modeled using feedback to make changes. Therefore, you’ll want to prepare some for yourself beforehand to show the process thoroughly.
