What is Peer Editing?
After watching the video What is Peer Editing? and viewing the slideshow, Peer Edit with Perfection Tutorial by Adriana Zardini, I have a better understanding of what peer editing is. Peer editing has 3 steps:
- Compliments
- Suggestions
- Corrections
Peer editing is done with peers who are usually the same age and in a class together. We should always be very positive when peer editing. The best way to approach peer editing is to start with a compliment. “I really like how you….”. When making suggestions we should consider word choice, details, organization, sentences and the topic or main idea. Finally, we should help our peers by showing them where they need corrections in things like grammar, punctuation and spelling.
Writing Peer Review Top 10 Mistakes by Tim Bedly, is a funny video about peer editing. The children in this video show examples of what may happen while peer editing. There are students with funny names like “Whatever William”, “Mean Margaret” and “Loud Larry”. This would be a great video to show in my future classroom to students when teaching them how to peer edit as well. As we leave comments for our classmates in EDM310 I will remember the 3 steps of peer editing: compliment, suggest, correct, and remember to stay positive!
Good job!
