The Peer Review feature in MI Write allows students to give and receive constructive feedback on their writing. 

Once you have created peer review groups, the next step is to create peer review forms. You can perform this task as you create a new prompt or after the prompt has been created.

1.  On the Writing tab, go to the Prompt Library. Click Create Prompt to create a new prompt or click on the pencil icon beside the title of the prompt for which you would like to create a peer review form or Create Prompt.

2.  On the Edit a Prompt page, click on the Peer Review option. 

3.  Once you click Enable Peer Review for the prompt, you can choose whether you want the author’s name shown to the reviewer or hidden and whether you want the reviewer’s name shown to the author or hidden. You can also choose to enable Sentence Starters for your students to guide them as they provide feedback to their peers.

4.  The Peer Review Questions checklist displays peer review questions that are grade band and genre specific. 

• In addition to two general questions that are generated for every review, you can choose peer review questions that address elements consistent with the purpose of the essay.
• You can also add your own questions.
• The form can include up to six questions, in addition to the two required questions, for students to respond to when reviewing a peer's essay.

5.  When you are finished customizing the prompt, click Save Prompt and the peer review form will be saved with the prompt.

To view or print the peer review form, click the printer icon. 

When a student receives a peer review request from a peer review group member, it will display as Pending in the Peer Reviews section of the student's Home page.

To complete the peer review, the student should click on Start Review and fill out the form including comments for each question. 

The submitted review will appear for the author as a Completed review on their Home page.
