Why we peer edit To gain perspective Because writing is a process To highlight errors we all make and to improve our writing as a group

Overview Read the entire essay all the way through one time without making comments Read again making notes to yourself Respond to all the bullet points listed on page 112 In addition: Comment on how well the writer transitions between categories and paragraphs Comment on how well the writer describes and defines each category Check MLA formatting Note any grammar or punctuation issues you notice – it is OK if you aren’t sure.

Things to keep in mind… Be critical but respectful Don’t be afraid to be critical Don’t take comments too personally Be specific with comments and be sure to give examples Respond to the list on page 112 carefully Responses should not be too short or vague Make suggestions instead of corrections

What to do with comments Consider comments as options not as corrections Think about each comment before deciding if you want to use it or not Don’t take comments personally Read p for more specific suggestions

More helpful techniques Read your essay backwards Use word to search for words that you know you use a lot Make a reverse outline

MLA format review First page: Left corner: Your Name Your Instructor’s Name Course Name Date Top right header: Your last name and page number (page number does belong on the first page) Title Spacing Issues

Citing Songs Individual songs: Song name goes in quotation marks. For citing just the song: Artist. “Song Title.” Album Title. Record Company/ Publisher, release date. Nirvana. “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Nevermind. Geffen, If you use a website: Artist. “Song Title.” Website Title. Date published. Organization affiliated. Date accessed. URL. Nirvana. “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Lyrics.com. 20 May

In-text quotations Quote song lyrics like you would a poem: with breaks represented with a slash and a space: “With the lights out/ it’s less dangerous/ here we are now/ entertain us” (Nirvana).
