Peer Review Writing Workshop

Read the festival scene below as an editor. Look for what is already working, then suggest specific, respectful changes that could make the writing clearer or more engaging. There can be more than one good answer.

Draft for review: The Last Song

Harrison and Losa had been waiting all afternoon for the final act at the music festival. The sky was turning purple, and the crowd pressed towards the stage. Somewhere behind them, a food stall sizzled. Harrison checked the programme again. “They’re on next,” he said, although the stage was still empty. Then the speakers gave a sharp crackle. Everyone stopped talking. A single guitar note rang out from the dark stage, and the crowd leaned forward. Losa reached for Harrison’s sleeve. “I think this is going to be worth the wait,” she said. The lights flashed on, and the music began.

Notice, name, suggest

Use evidence from the draft in your responses. Helpful feedback names a feature, explains its effect, and offers a manageable next step.

1.Which reviewer comment is the most constructive? Choose one.

This is boring. Rewrite it.
The crackling speakers create suspense; you could build on that by adding what Harrison notices while he waits.
Your spelling is good.

2.Find one detail that helps the reader imagine the festival setting. Quote it and explain what it helps you see, hear, or smell.

3.The draft builds suspense before the act appears. Identify one moment that creates suspense and explain how it does so.

4.True or false: The sentence “The sky was turning purple” is a precise sensory detail that helps establish the time and atmosphere.

TrueFalse

5.Complete this feedback sentence with a specific detail from the draft: “The moment when works well because .”

6.The word “sharp” describes the crackle. Suggest a different precise word or phrase, then explain the effect your choice would create.

7.Give one respectful suggestion that could help the writer make Harrison or Losa’s reaction more vivid. Include a detail the writer might add.

8.The ending says, “The lights flashed on, and the music began.” What question might a reader still have about the final act? Turn that question into a useful revision suggestion for the writer.

9.Imagine you are the writer. Choose one suggestion from this workshop and explain how you would use it to revise the draft. Name the exact part you would change.
