You can have students complete self-reviews along with, or instead of, peer reviews. Self-reviews allow students to review their own writing using the same checklist that peer reviewers and teachers use.

Note: If self-review is enabled, students will be prompted to review as soon as they have submitted the assignment. Students can follow these steps to get back to self-review at any time.

Teachers can share this video with students to walk them through the steps of completing a self-review:


  1. Log into Writable, and click on the assignment to open up the Assignment Dashboard.

  2. Here, you will see how many submissions you've been assigned to complete, including your self-review. Click on the 'Review' tile to begin.

  3. If you've been assigned peer reviews in addition to self reviews, you will always be prompted to complete the self review first.

  4. Read your writing submission. Then select a star rating for each rubric item.

  5. After you select a star, leave a comment using a comment stem or your own reminder for ways to improve your writing when you revise.

  6. After completing the entire rubric and leaving helpful comments, click 'Submit' at the bottom.

  7. You can confirm that you have completed the assigned reviews on the assignment dashboard:
