This idea might work better for younger grades, but then again, I could see my 8th graders liking this!
For peer-editing groups Nicole Hughes uses actual hats when she tells her students to put their thinking caps on. Students have jobs in their peer editing group according to the hat they are wearing.
Grammar Queen/King: student wears a crown and looks for grammar mistakes in a paper. Are there spelling or punctuation mistakes? Typos?
Sentence Flipper: student wears a fast-food burger-flipper hat (like from In-n-Out) and focuses on sentence structure and fluency. Are there any fragments? Do the sentences flow together?
Revision Rockstar: student wears a sparkly headband and looks specifically for revision suggestions. How is the introduction and conclusion? Does the writing make sense?
