Peer Dictation

The procedure: the students work in pairs to complete the following list of inspirational quotations related to service to others. They take turns reading the quotation to their partner and helping ensure that the quotations are correctly written. They don’t look at their partner’s paper while writing. To make the task easier, they have these phrases and words written on their worksheets:

Useful phrases: What did ________ (person) say about service? How do you spell _____? Could you repeat the first/last part? Could you repeat the bit after _________?

How to express the punctuation:

. = period

, = comma

’ = apostrophe

? = question mark
