The Green Pen Challenge policy encourages students to peer edit each other's work using a green pen. This distinguishes student corrections from teacher corrections and creates a dialogue to support reflective learning. Students mark each other's work for grammar and consider the lesson objectives to see what they have learned and still need to improve on. As a follow up, students write responses to the peer reviews to reflect on corrections and demonstrate their understanding to the teacher.
