Grade 2 · Writing · Lesson 33

Edit a Partner\u2019s Story Kindly

An editor is someone who reads a piece of writing and helps make it better. The best editors are kind — they always notice what is working well before they suggest what to improve. This is called the "star and wish" method!

What this lesson teaches

1Give kind, specific feedback on a partner’s story — one strength and one helpful suggestion
2Use the star-and-wish method to frame feedback, always starting with a genuine star
3Check a story against the editor’s checklist — capitals, punctuation, vivid words and order, and dialogue
