Blog Post #3

Peer Editing is a very useful tool in editing a students work. In the videos Peer Editing, Tutorial Peer Editing, and Writing Peer Review (Peer Critique) TOP 10 Mistakes they cover many different ways to peer edit correctly. The first thing to remember when peer editing is that your peer is someone your age and in editing you make suggestions and comments. In the videos there are three steps to follow when peer editing, first you need to give compliments, second you need to give suggestions, third you need to give corrections. It is important to remember this order because you do not want to offend anyone while trying to help them.

There are different ways to let someone know about their mistakes. When you are helping someone, do not embarrass them by letting everyone else know their mistakes. When editing keep in mind that you are making suggestions, and telling them ways they could fix their mistakes, not forcing them do what you want. The decision is still up to your peer. Also when letting someone know that they have made a mistake, it is important to give them some way to fix that mistake. Peer editing could really help someone if it is done correctly and effectively.
