Peer editing is a very important way for students to help each other in school work. As stated in the video "What is peer editing" the peer editing process has 3 steps Compliments,Rules,and staying positive. By using these rules a student can peer edit to perfection. Compliments allows the student to keep the writer in high spirits letting the writer know that its all in a helping manner. The rules are set up so the editor knows what he needs to look for and what needs to be fixed. Staying positive allows the editor to put off a good clean air and not down grade the writer.
Making suggestions to the writer will also help the over all piece sound better. By making suggestions it helps the writer realize his mistakes and produces a better piece. Remember staying positive with your suggestions helps because you don,t want the writer discouraged. Then making corrections according and produce a great piece. Also do not be picky or not give a flip either just do a good job and follow the steps and there will be a great peer edit.
Mr. Mason,
ReplyDeleteI liked that your blog post was clear and easy to understand. You showed how peer editing is beneficial to everyone and how to make the process successful. However, I would have liked to see your process and ideas about using peer editing for your peers in this class. I like the image you used for this blog post. I chose the same image for my blog because I felt that it was an effective image of what peer editing is all about; feedback! You have a few grammatical errors in this post but overall your ideas were clear and concise. Your font is a little difficult to read, maybe you could edit your blog to make your font a little bit larger. Great job on blog post #3!
Don't forget to include links and alt/title modifiers with each post.
