1. Self and peer assessment develop learners' understanding of quality and criteria.
2. Looking closely at another piece of work can sharpen judgment of one's own work.
3. Examples and teacher modelling make criteria usable.
4. A narrow focus helps beginners give specific feedback.
5. A safe, honest classroom culture is a prerequisite for useful peer critique.
6. Revision turns feedback from commentary into learning.
