A peer assessment carousel not only lightens your workload, but it also allows each student to gain feedback from six different classmates whilst also seeing and evaluating examples of work from their peers.
How it works…
Just print a six-box feedback sheet for every student and staple it to their work. The work and these feedback sheets will be passed around the carousel to collect feedback. Next, group your students equally, according to their strengths. Each student reads a piece of work and fill out the feedback box for their focus, using the student guide sheets for prompts.
When the time is up for reading and giving feedback, each group piles up the work, and the piles are passed on to the next group.
You can use the premade sheets, which works around the concept of six focus groups, or you could make your own with the included blank editable version.
Easily adapted for different tasks, this product will serve you year in, year out! Includes a handy ‘How to Use’ guide.
