Peer-Edit Cycle 1 — Applying the 10-Criterion Rubric

Show MG-12 video of a peer-edit demonstration (first 2 minutes). Children identify which criteria were addressed.

• Play video
• Pause to ask 'what criterion?'
• Affirm specific criterion identifications

Today you peer-edit with the 10-CRITERION rubric (MG-13). Each criterion gets YES / PARTLY / NO with a SPECIFIC NOTE quoting or pointing to a place in the partner's draft. For each PARTLY or NO, suggest at least ONE named revision move from MG-22. Do NOT re-write the partner's draft — that is the writer's job. Mark; then confer briefly; the writer picks up the pencil last. Watch teacher peer-edit a sample draft. Criterion 1 (intro hook + context + thesis): YES. Note: 'Strong hook with a question. Thesis names 3 distinct reasons.' Criterion 2 (3 body paragraphs with TEEL): PARTLY. Note: 'Body 2 is missing the EXPLANATION band — evidence drops in and link follows.' Suggested move: Move 2 (ADD EXPLANATION). Criterion 5 (≥2 in-text citations): NO. Note: 'Body 1 cites Woodson but body 2 has no attribution.' Suggested move: Move 5 (ADD IN-TEXT CITATION). And so on for all 10. Conference: writer reads partner's marks; writer asks clarifying questions; writer says which moves they will act on. WRITER OWNS THE PENCIL.

• Notice: every PARTLY or NO has a SPECIFIC note (quote or point). Vague notes ('this could be better') help nobody.
