The definition of peer editing is working with someone your own age to help improve their writing. Being specific and careful are very important in peer editing. In the video, What is Peer Editing, states that there are three important rules to remember when you are peer editing.
1. Stay Positive and tell the writer what they did well
2. Check the punctuations, grammar, spelling and sentences.
3. Give ideas on how to make their writing better
Peer editing can be fun and helpful to others. When you peer edit you have to be careful also. You should think about how you would feel if someone was looking at your work. Different things are sensitive to different people. When I am peer editing in the future I will keep these rules in mind because sometimes its easy to be harsh on some people. I think It is good for students to see what other students have to say about their work rather than just teachers.
Hey Candace!
ReplyDeleteI agree that peer editing can be fun and helpful. I think it easy to take peer editing from a peer your age. When having students edit each other paper it's a must to let students know that you should treat others the way you would want to be treated. With peer editing students should know the thoughtful editing is helpful editing.
Good post, just be sure to always go into detail about what you learned. This post was a little brief :)
