Discover effective strategies for providing constructive feedback when your partner’s writing shines. This guide walks you through an engaging coaching process, divided into four parts: start with small talk, preview the paragraph, read together, and discuss the writing. Learn to articulate your reactions, confirm the writer’s main point, highlight standout elements, and explore possibilities for improvement. Whether the work is strong or needs enhancement, the emphasis is on meaningful dialogue about the writing. Improve your critique skills while fostering a supportive environment.

I loved it! What to do when your partner’s paper is awesome.
Review of the coaching process • Part 1 (small talk) • Part 2 (preview paragraph) • Part 3 (read paragraph) • Part 4 (discuss)
If you your partner’s paper, the process is pretty much the same. Keep the same Modify a little • Part 1 (small talk) • Part 2 (preview paragraph) • Part 3 (read paragraph) • Part 4 (discuss)
Part 4 (discuss the writing) • You still give your reaction, but you can… • Confirm that the writer clearly communicated their main point • Detail what specifically you liked & compare to your own writing • Discuss the writing process • Discuss possible options for improving • Look at rubric
Part 4 (discuss the writing) The COACH can say, • The message I think you are trying to give is ___. Am I right? • The one aspect of your writing that really stood out to me is ___. What is your favorite part? Why? • I really liked how you ___. I think I (did/didn’t) do that in my writing. (discuss how) • What was the toughest/easiest part of writing this paragraph? Why? • If you had to add information to a section of your writing, where would it go? What would you add? Do you think you will really add to this part or not? • Let’s look at the rubric. Where do you think you belong? What parts of your paragraph can you use to prove this?
Part 4 (discuss the writing) Whether the writing is weak or lively, the goal is the same: TALK about writing!!!
