Peer Check and Send Service

What is it:
An opportunity for pupils to improve and assess each other's work.

How does it work:
Explain to pupils they are going to 'check and send' the work already completed by their peers.  This can be 'sold' by explaining the Passport Check and Send Service from the Post Office.

Supply peer checkers with either the correct version of information you want all pupils to have (and/or) improved/extended information they all should have - they must then 'check' the information gathered by their peers for accuracy/detail  This can be done with different coloured pens to make it more 'official'.

They must then 'send' a corrected or new piece of information to their peer's work and then hand this work back to the original owner.

Ideas for adaptations???
  • Provide pupils with a tick-list as part of the check and send service, they can then glue into their peer's work
  • Provide a 'charge' for this service and make certain pupils the check and send service operators (G&T pupils) in the classroom - can then be embedded routine.
