Now that you've assigned a Self Review, let's take a look at what students experience while completing the assignment.
💡 Before students begin a Self Review, we recommend that students complete a first draft of their essay.
What do students see on a Self Review?
When students begin their Self Review assignment, the first thing they will be asked to do is paste their existing essay draft. This could be writing that students transcribe from paper or a copy-and-paste from a Guided Draft, Google Doc, or other source. After adding their writing, students can use the text editor on the right to edit the format.
Students will then be given a series of questions about different parts of their essay. Based on their answers, they’ll be asked to make revisions, while being supported with examples, tips, and messages of encouragement. If students do not make any revisions, they'll be asked to explain their reasoning.
After revising on their ideas of their essay, students are given tips to identify and improve areas that need polishing.
Completing the assignment
In the final step, students will double-check their writing by completing a proofread checklist. Students will also be able to compare their first draft with their final copy to view their edits by selecting the checkbox next to Compare rough draft and revision.
Before submitting their essay for grading, students also have the option to highlight their favorite paragraph and leave a note sharing why they are proud of their work!
Reviewing their submitted work
To view the writing they've submitted, students can select Past Work at the top of their page. By selecting View Writing next to the Self Review, students will be able to see their submitted work, any comments their teacher left, and their grade.
