✏️ Part 2: Two Stars and a Wish + Reflection

4. One Wish — give one actionable suggestion the writer can use to improve their analysis. Include what to change and why.

5. Suggest a concrete revision: Quote a line/phrase from the draft to improve, then write your revised version below.

6. Rate the clarity of the thesis (circle one):

1 (unclear)

5 (very clear)

7. Writer's reflection: Which feedback will you act on and how? (Briefly plan your revision — 2–3 sentences.)

🚀 Part 3: Extension & Differentiation

8. Extension tasks (advanced learners) — choose one and write a short plan.

Compare the use of a key language device in two scenes and assess how it supports the argument

Rewrite one paragraph to strengthen topic sentence, evidence and analysis; justify changes

Conduct a 360° peer review in a group and produce an annotated exemplar paragraph

9. Differentiation supports (for diverse learners) — use these sentence starters when giving feedback or to help your partner respond:

Sentence starters: "I like how you…", "I wonder if you could add more about…", "This paragraph would be stronger if…", "Consider explaining how the evidence shows…".
