Argumentative Writing Lesson: Peer Review with a Rubric, Grades 6-8

Which comment would help you more? "Good stuff!" Or "Your claim is clear, but who gave you the number in your second sentence?" In about 40 minutes, students learn to give and use feedback with a rubric: read a partner's draft against four rubric rows, give one strength, one question and one suggestion, each tied to a row and a place, then plan revisions from the feedback they receive.
