Data Tools Clarification:

Data Tools Clarification for the project: In what ways can both Peer Review and Feedback regarding students' writing benefit students' critical reading and writing skills, as well as foster a supportive learning community, in the secondary English classroom?

Type of data collection	Description of process	Type of data collected (quantitative, qualitative)	Useful Instruments	Advantages	Challenges	When to use
Peer Review Sheets	Students answer questions regarding other students’ essays they’ve just reviewed	Qualitative - look at and revise their essays based on the responses	Turnitin.com peer review response - students can check the responses regarding the same paper that multiple other students have reviewed, computer lab, ipads	Quick, stored for as long as I have them as a student (and beyond if I wish), questions tailored to what I want them to focus on - levels of difficulty, scaffolding, etc.	lab space - always a contest in our school	during essay review times - at least 3 times / trimester, up to as many as possible.
Peer Review Process Survey	Data collection of surveys pertaining to how the process itself went, what was most useful and least, etc.	Mix of Qualitative and Quantitative - will rank them and look at percentages, as well as making judgments about the process	can be done on Schoology, ipads, or just paper	allows me to see what I need to polish, change, review, or keep as the same	students’ willingness to say “everything isn’t useful or effective,” especially with the norms of that practice	Once or twice a trimester, to make changes based on personnel, classroom identity and needs, etc.
Grammatical Feedback checklist	Reminds the readers which grammatical issues they’re looking for to compliment and point out for that essay. On Turnintin.com’s ESS feedback, it’ll point out certain issues relatively consistently (fragments, tense shifts, awkward constructions, capitalization, etc.).	Mix of qualitative and quantitative - the essays, the checklist itself, looking at the rough drafts of their essays through the review filter	turnitin.com, schoology, or paper checklist	it keeps their focus on what they’re supposed to be looking at / improving for that assignment	Keeping the students from focusing purely on editing - all small mistakes, or “goof hunting” - too negative, not as relevant	During the review process, as well as the writing process - as they’re working on their rough drafts, they should have it out as well so that they focus their writing on succeeding with regard to said skills.
