In the videos What is Peer Editing and Peer Edit with Perfection Tutorial tells you the meaning of what a peer is, what editing is, and then the full explanation of peer editing. There are three steps to remember when peer editing someone else's writing. The first step is compliments. It is essential to stay optimistic and think about the way you would want someone to proof your work. The second step to remember in peer editing is making suggestions. You can make suggestions about pretty much anything just stay positive. The last step of editing is corrections. Make sure to check for punctuation, grammar, and spelling. Important things to remember while peer editing is stay positive, be precise about what you are correcting and complete all the steps of compliments, corrections and suggestions. It is very important to do all three of these steps so that the writer knows what he or she messed up on and they can fix it next time and not make the same mistake but don’t forget to compliment as well and stay Positive!
Top Ten Peer Review Mistakes
In this video the students did a remarkable job at describing the mistakes that can be made during peer reviews. The mistakes said in the video were: Picky Patty, Whatever William, Social Sammy, Jean the Generalizer, Mean Margaret, Loud Larry, Pushy Paula, Off-Task Oliver, Speedy Sandy, and Defensive Dave. A mistake I could definitely agree with is getting off topic because I have done it plenty of times. It is very easy to do by just talking to your friends instead of being concerned with your paper. This mistake is done every day because students would much rather talk to their friend instead of doing work. I hope other students get the chance to view these videos as well to realize all the mistakes being made so that they can try to correct them too.
