1 minute

4. Peer review activity
Find a partner and use the WatCV rubric to review your partner’s reflection (7-8 minutes per partner).
REMEMBER: you’re taking the role of an employer. The employer is interested in learning more about the skill the student has used to address a particular situation, what actions the student has taken to deploy those skills to address the situation, why those actions were taken, and how those actions helped address the situation
2 minutes (overview) + 15 minutes (peer review)
Emphasize that the peer review activity will give each student an opportunity to see examples of work that differ from their own and to apply the rubric to those examples. As the group works together applying the rubric, they will deepen their own understanding of what each of the rubric elements means and discover ways to improve their own work.
They will use the feedback they have received during the peer review activity to revise and resubmit their WatCV assignment 2 submission.
Throughout the session, the instructor circulates throughout the class to ensure that students are keeping on task and calls out the 5 minute marks reminding students to begin reviewing the next example.
Student actions
Students tell their partner the possible BBI question their reflection could answer (For example, Tell me about a time you handled a group conflict well). Their partner then takes on the role of the employer, and poses the question. The students read aloud their reflection. Doing so helps both students recognize strengths and weaknesses in the reflection. They then open the WatCV rubric and use it to assess, and provide feedback to their partner.
