Writing Your How-to Article, Peer Assessment and Revision

  1. You will now start writing your how-to article. 
  2. Before you begin, make sure you have completed your outline and received some feedback from another student.
  3. Use your outline as a guide and remember you can look at the structure of a how-to article by revisiting the site we explored earlier: https://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page
  4. CLICK HERE to make a copy of the template you will use when writing your article.
  5. Share your article with another student so they can complete a peer assessment.
  6. CLICK HERE to use the form to assess another student's article.
  7. Let the teacher know you have completed the peer assessment and submitted the form.
  8. Complete any revisions on your own how-to article once you receive your feedback. 
Here is the rubric that we will use for feedback during the revision process (it will be included the online form you will use) and also for the final evaluation:
  • The headline is effective in catching the reader's attention and encouraging them to read more of the article.
  • The instructions are clear and easy to understand and written in a step by step format. If necessary, a helpful material or supply list is provided.
  • The introduction is brief but effective, explaining to the reader how this article will benefit. The conclusion effectively wraps up the article's main purpose.
  • The reader is provided with additional tips or cautions that will benefit the reader by making the overall process smoother.
  • There are less that three spelling. grammar and/or sentence structure issues.
Each one is worth 20 pts each for a total of 100 pts
