Q134

‘Peer review’ is understood as an important strategy for improving students’ writing process. The purpose of ‘peer review’ is to :

  1. (1) connect ideas and build paragraphs for writing.
  2. (2) help the teacher in evaluation of writing of students.
  3. (3) offer formative feedback to their peers, which further helps them to improve their drafts.Correct answer
  4. (4) encourage in finding faults of their peers.

Solution.

CBSE answer: (3)

Answer: (3) offer formative feedback to their peers, which further helps them to improve their drafts.

  1. In process writing, classmates read each other's drafts and suggest changes.
  2. The feedback is formative: it aims at a better next draft, not a grade.
  3. Both the writer and the reviewer learn from it.

Trap: (4) treats peer review as fault finding; (2) wrongly makes it a tool for the teacher's marking.
