Lesson Plan 2 Subject: English Topic: Peer Revision and Peer-Editing; Consistent Point of View Objectives: 8.

7 The student will write in a variety of forms, including narration, exposition, persuasion, and informational. g) Revise writing for clarity of content, word choice, sentence variety, and transitions among paragraphs. h) Use computer technology to plan, draft, revise, edit, and publish writing. 8.8 The student will edit writing for correct grammar, capitalization, punctuation, spelling, sentence structure, and paragraphing. Target Audience: 8th Grade students Equipment needed computers with Internet access Software Used: Google Drive Instructional Activities: 1. Group the students in peer-review triads based on the ability levels. Each small group will have access to a shared Google Drive folder where each persons draft of the personal narrative has been uploaded by the teacher. 2. Explain that the students have editing rights to each others drafts in their shared folders. Model the peer-revision process using the comments function in Google Drive. In the modeling process focus on the idea of keeping the consistent point of view in a personal narrative; ask students to point out which pronouns are usually used for a person narrative (I, me, mine, my, we, our, ours) and which pronouns should be avoided (you, your, yours). 3. Demonstrate how the students will use the find function of the document to find all second person pronouns in the peers drafts and highlight the found pronouns that interfere with the consistent first person point of view. 4. Each student will review the drafts of two other group members, make comments with revision suggestions, and highlight the second person pronouns. 5. Then, the author of each draft will revise and edit the draft according to the peers suggestions in Google Drive. Assessment Strategy: The teacher will evaluate the students participation and effort based on their comments posted to other students drafts. Each student will also be evaluated on the revision process using the final draft and the revision history function of Google Drive.
