What is peer editing? You might say editing the work of you peer. You would be right if you said that, but that would be leaving out something very important. Peer editing is about helping your peers better their work in a POSITIVE way. I learned about positive peer editing in the video "What is peer editing?" and the slideshow "Peer edit with perfection tutorial." I also learned from the funny video "writing peer review top 10 mistakes" how not to act while peer editing.
While doing this assignment, I learned about the importance of peer editing with your peer's feelings in mind. It is much easier to accept criticizing if you feel like the person criticizing you really wants to help you improve your work. It is important to stay positive when giving suggestions or criticism. Before this assignment I did not realize the importance of a positive attitude while peer editing, but now I do!
Thoughtful. Interesting. You learned something!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! I loved the way you looked at peer editing. It was a different take. A positive attitude makes ALL the difference!! From experience, when someone critiques you constantly, you tend to tune them out. Starting with a compliment and then critiquing them nicely with a good attitude will allow the writer to take your criticism and use it. I also liked how you used the links from the videos in your post. It makes someone who is reading your blog that doesn't have to watch the videos understand. Keep up the good work!
