What is peer response?

Peer response — often referred to as peer review, feedback, or writing workshops — provides students a scaffolded opportunity to read, receive, and provide holistic feedback on their writing at any point in the writing process.

Why is peer response pedagogy important?

Peer response activities can help students practice critical reading for the purpose of giving their peers feedback and improve their revision skills by learning to incorporate feedback into their own writing. Additionally, peer response activities can help build classroom community and provide an opportunity for professionalization.
