PEER
RESPONSE SHEET FOR
WRITING CONVENTIONS
Below is a version of the peer
response sheet I have my students use when reading another
student's paper for writing conventions. I have changed the
format to fit the confines of this web page. I usually have a
line in front of each statement and one in the middle so that
students can mark a particular item as being a strength, in the
middle, or a weakness.
DIRECTIONS: Circle what you believe to be
the correct response to the paper.
Correct spelling OR Some spelling is incorrect

are spelled incorrectly

punctuation errors

Please remember that
handwriting, although important, is not a factor in writing
conventions.
