Peer Review Strategies
Questions ?
 Exchange your board with one other group.
 Study that group’s work. On a sticky tag note at least one that
you think is an especially good question and why.
 Write at least ONE additional question in response to one of
their questions (i.e., take it to another level).
 Figure out how to add at least one of their questions to yours,
or to revise one of your questions based on what theirs.
Explanation Evaluation
 Rotate to another group to evaluate their explanation.
 Comment, using one sticky tag per group, on
 What makes sense to you in their explanation?
 What needs clarifying in their explanation?
 Are you persuaded by their response, and why or why
not?
 Revise your own board from the comments you received
Model Musings
 Pass your model to one or more groups, according to your teacher’s
instructions.
 Use up to four sticky notes to provide the following feedback:
 Ask for clarification of ideas
 Build on and add ideas
 Agree with and praise ideas
 Comment on how well thinking is made visible
 When finished with the rotations, return to your own board and discuss the
clarity and usefulness of the feedback you received, and use what you can.
 Have a class conversation about the usefulness of the evaluation, as well as
of the feedback groups received. Brainstorm ways for improving the feedback.
Gallery Walk
 After completing work, situate it so that people can see it.
 Look at all the products, then choose three to focus on. You might be drawn
to ones that seem to be complex, or extra clear, or missing the mark.
 Write a sticky tag that says WHY you focused on this one, what you particularly
think works, and any suggestions you have for helping that group make their
thinking more visible.
 Have a class discussion about similarities and differences in models, as well as
questions people have about what others are thinking. Make suggestions
about the steps in investigations or research.
