Blog Post #3

I learned quite a few things from the instruction videos about peer editing. I learned that a peer is someone your own age, Editing is making suggestion, compliments, comments, and changes to writing. Peer editing means working with someone your own age to help improve, revise, and edit his or her writing. There are three steps to peer editing: Compliments, suggestions, and corrections. When peer editing you have to stay positive, be specific, and complete all three steps.

ALWAYS start your peer editing off with a compliment, say how you liked things in their post or how your agree with what they have said. The #1 rule is to stay positive. Second, give your peer suggestions on their work. Things too look at: word choice, details, organization, sentences, and the topic. Make sure everything is described thoroughly, make sure you can understand what they are writing about, check sentences for run on's and fragments, and make sure they have a main idea. Lastly, make corrections you think are necessary. Punctuation, grammar, sentences, and spelling should all be corrected for the peer to fix.
