Blog Post #3
Peers are people in your age group, sometimes your friends or classmates. Editing is correcting someone's work. Peer editing is a great way to learn from your mistakes. In my opinion, when critiques come from your peers, it's a lot easier to deal with and fix the problem. In the video and slideshow What is peer editing? and Peer edit with perfection tutorial, I learned that there are three steps to peer editing. The first step is compliments. You don't want to discourage them and compliments are the best way to do that. The second step is suggestions, offering them a little advise is always helpful. The third and final step is corrections. Make sure you correct their mistakes so they know what they're doing wrong and will be able to correct themselves in the future.
In watching, Writing Peer review top 10 mistakes, I learned that there are so many critique errors. When trying to correct someone you should take the time to actually tell them what they are doing wrong. You shouldn't offend anyone when correcting their work. Peer editing can be a great way to help someone but it can also be very cruel if you don't care about what you're doing.

You are right. When editing someone's work, you don't want to make them feel bad about what they produced! I also learned about the 3 steps and thought that they are very beneficial for future references.
ReplyDeleteI agree that peer editing is a great way to help others correct their work and learn from their mistakes. It should be done in a positive way so not to offend your peer.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with you on the idea when your classmates peer edit. You don't feel as pressured and shameful because that is usually the reaction you get when the teacher edits your writing. I am learning that they are helping me by criticizing me.

Good post. It's a little brief. Please put a bit more effort into answering the driving questions. Also, please make sure you have at least one functioning link in each of your posts.
