Get your students to peer edit like pros with these engaging and organized Informational / Explanatory peer review editing checklists! These revising checklists have differentiated levels for 5, 7, & 9 paragraphs so that you can reach every learner in your class. This standards aligned resource includes 3 print-and-go peer editing checklists already planned and prepped for you. 

Teachers can use them all school year long to help students know what to edit in their essays. The reusable peer editing checklists are very detailed (for a 5, 7, & 9 paragraph essay) created for the progressing writer. Excellent for mixed or leveled classes to give students individualized instruction. Practical and easy to understand. Students will know what is expected of them and they will have opportunities to reflect on their work.

✏️ Here's what you'll get (PDF):

✅ 3 checklists with options (Half and Full Page) & (with and without CCSS Listed) & (with and without clipart) of the 5, 7, & 9 Paragraphs. In all, there are 6 pages each of the 3 differentiated levels.

✅ How I Use This Resource (Teaching Notes)

In each Peer Editing Checklist, your students will understand what to write in an informational essay. Here’s what your students will be able to identify in detail:

Introduction paragraph

• Hook
• topic
• Facts / Details

Body of each paragraph

• Supporting topic’s order 
• Facts / Details

Conclusion paragraph

• Restate topic
• Knockout

Your students will love getting out of their seats, becoming engaged in reading another classmate's essay, and then discussing feedback. Students won't even realize how much they're learning from reading another student’s essay! This will build confidence in students over time.

Prep is quick and easy... Just print the student pages, model for the students, and you're ready for a fun and engaging class! Plus a structured checklist makes this resource perfect for partner work, centers, stations, or rotations!
