Dutch to English translations [PRO] Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy
Dutch term or phrase:schrijfronde
This term appears in a lesson plan that will be used in the English-language variant of a course taught at a HBO-level teacher training college in the Netherlands.
An excellent explanation of the term is provided (in Dutch) here: http://www.beroepdocent.nl/869/Onderwijsvernieuwing.html?BLO...
I believe I've tried looking for all the obvious possibilities, but I haven't had any luck. Something with "peer review groups" perhaps?
I'm looking for the British English equivalent.
Explanation: I'd spell it as one word myself, but in most of the instances I've found, it's two.

"One idea that I’ve tried in a workshop for teachers, and liked, is called ‘Write Around’. It works as follows:
"Students work in groups of 3-5. They read text or have text read to them, or are assigned a topic by the teacher. Then they are given 1-2 minutes to respond in writing to the text/topic. (The amount of time given to respond will vary with each class or grade.) In their groups, students pass their responses to the right. They silently read what the other student wrote, then they have 1-2 minutes to respond to that student’s idea."
Thank you, Phil. Your reference does, indeed, exactly match the definition I provided. This term doesn't yet seem to be in widespread use, but since the source is a published book from a respected education professional, it's good enough for me. 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
Phil's "write around" explains exactly the basic principle of what's going on (read his reference) in your reference
All that needs to be checked yet, perhaps, is whether "write around" can also be used in a higher education context

group peer evaluation
Explanation: There's no hard and fast answer here. Peer review, peer evaluation, group peer evaluation, peer group work evaluation, peer group critique - are all used. In the art world, they call it a "crit" (short for criticism or critique) but this is rather informal.
