Every peer edit should start off with complements
on how well you think your peer did. After giving complements look through the
work and decided if there are any suggestion you could make on things to add or
maybe take out. The final stage of peer editing is making correction. In this
phase the students take in consideration what their peers suggest and make
correction to their work.
Peer editing is a great strategy.
It gives the students a chance to work with someone around their same age. Some
students may take teacher correction a little hard. Working with someone they
know can allow them to be comfortable with making mistakes and correcting them.
The peer editing process works two ways; the person who is editing the work cannot
be mean about the person's writing. The student who’s work is being edit must
be willing to listen to suggestions and come to an agreement with the editor.
From small corrections to certain suggestion, Peer editing and giving feedback
is a great tool.
Hi Corey! I also believe that peer editing is a great strategy. I like that you pointed out that working with someone their own age allows the students to be more comfortable with the critiquing.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that I saw that should be fixed is " The student who's work is being edit" "edit" should be changed to "edited". Other than that good post and good luck with the rest of the semester!
You have been through this before!
