Instructional Ideas
- During the modeling, extend the learning by asking for other transitions to use
Classroom Considerations
- Ahead of time, create an anchor chart of the Peer Critique Guidelines that is large enough for everyone to see
- Furnish the group discussion questions in writing, either through projection or on a slip of paper for each group
- The Peer Critique tracking document assumes every learner understands that stars are what they did well and steps are how to improve the narrative
Pros
- Lesson resources contain mentor texts for modeling the critique process
- Includes an annotated version of the transition model answer
