Peer Feedback Prompts

Read the draft below as if a classmate wrote it. Use details from the draft to give specific, respectful feedback. The example answers model useful responses; your own answers may be different if they are supported by evidence.

Draft for review: The Last Ferry

At 8:57, the ferry horn sounded across the dark water. Anika clutched the envelope in her pocket. Inside was the letter that could stop the town council from closing the old jetty. She had promised to deliver it before the meeting ended, but the last ferry was already pulling away. “Wait!” she shouted. The captain glanced back, then shook his head. Rain blurred the lights along the shore. Anika could go home and let the decision happen without her, or find another way across. She spotted a small rowing boat tied beneath the jetty. It was not much of a plan, but it was a plan. She climbed in and pushed off. Halfway across the inlet, the wind turned the boat sideways. The envelope slipped from her hand and landed in a puddle. Anika grabbed it just before it slid overboard. The ink had begun to run. She opened the letter and read the first sentence aloud, as if the words might hold together: “A town is not made of buildings, but of the people who remember them.” A yellow light blinked on the far shore. Someone had seen her. Anika pulled at the oars. For the first time that night, she stopped waiting for someone else to decide what happened next.

Notice what works

Give feedback that points to a particular choice and explains its effect on the reader.

1.Which detail creates the strongest sense of urgency? Quote or identify the detail, then explain how it affects the reader.
2.Select the most specific and helpful positive comment about the draft.
  • It is good and interesting.
  • The storm scene is effective because the rain and sideways boat make Anika’s decision feel risky.
  • You should keep writing like this.
  • The ending is my favourite.
3.Find one example of figurative language or imagery in the draft. Explain what it helps the reader picture or feel.
4.The draft shows Anika choosing to act rather than wait. Which quotation best supports this idea?
  • “the last ferry was already pulling away”
  • “She could go home”
  • “For the first time that night, she stopped waiting for someone else to decide what happened next.”
  • “The ink had begun to run.”

Offer a next step

Constructive feedback is kind, clear and possible to act on. Focus on the writing, not the writer.

5.What question could you ask the writer to help develop the moment when Anika finds the rowing boat? Write a genuine question, not a correction.
6.Suggest one way to make the moment when the letter gets wet more vivid. Explain how your suggestion could affect the tension.
7.Complete this feedback sentence with evidence from the draft: “I think the ending is effective because …”
8.True or false: “You need to add more description” is more useful feedback than identifying a moment where extra description would help.
TrueFalse
9.Write a respectful two-part comment: name one strength using evidence, then offer one practical next step for revision.
10.What is one writing choice in this draft that you could try in your own work? Name the choice and say where you might use it.
