Create a peer review guide focusing on key narrative elements (engaging beginning, descriptive details, dialogue, clear sequence, reflective conclusion). Prepare examples of effective and ineffective feedback. Develop a feedback protocol poster with sentence starters. Select a model text with annotated feedback to demonstrate the process.

1. Introduction to peer review (5-7 minutes):
2. Explain purpose: to help peers strengthen their writing through specific feedback
3. Distinguish between helpful feedback (specific, constructive) and unhelpful feedback (vague, overly critical)
4. Introduce the feedback sandwich model: positive comment, suggestion for improvement, positive comment
2. Model peer review process (8-10 minutes):
3. Display a sample narrative with teacher annotations
4. Demonstrate giving specific feedback tied to narrative writing criteria
5. Think aloud while providing constructive suggestions
6. Show how to ask clarifying questions
3. Review protocol and expectations (3-5 minutes):
4. Discuss respectful and responsible reviewer behaviors
5. Introduce peer review guide and feedback categories
6. Explain how to use different colored highlighters for specific elements
7. Set time expectations for each review round
4. First review round (10-12 minutes):
5. Pair students and exchange narratives
6. Reviewers read completely first before making notes
7. Use review guide to provide structured feedback:
8. Green: Highlight effective descriptive language
9. Yellow: Mark areas where more detail would help
10. Blue: Note dialogue effectiveness
11. Written comments: Focus on story structure and pacing
12. Write 2-3 specific questions for the author
5. Author-reviewer conference (5 minutes per pair):
6. Reviewers explain their feedback to authors
7. Authors ask clarifying questions
8. Together, identify 2-3 priority areas for revision
9. Complete author response sheet
6. Second review round (optional, 10-12 minutes):
7. Exchange with different partners for fresh perspective
8. Focus on different elements in the review guide
7. Revision planning (8-10 minutes):
8. Authors review all feedback received
9. Complete revision planning template identifying specific changes to make
10. Set goals for revision session
11. Share revision plans with original reviewer
8. Reflection: Students write briefly about the most valuable feedback they received and how it will improve their narrative.

For struggling writers, provide partially completed peer review guides with more structure. For English learners, allow feedback in native language alongside English. For advanced students, add more sophisticated elements to the review criteria, such as theme development or varied sentence structure.

Evaluate the quality and specificity of feedback provided. Review revision plans to assess students' ability to incorporate feedback effectively. Note improvements between drafts as evidence of the peer review's effectiveness.
