The basics of editing and how to assess your classmates
2
What is peer editing? Peer editing means working with someone your own age – usually someone in your class – to help improve, revise, and edit his or her writing.
3
Peer Editing There are three important components of editing to remember when you are peer editing another student’s writing. 1 – Compliments 2 – Suggestions 3 - Corrections
4
Compliments Stay positive – think about how you would feel if someone was telling you how to improve your work. Tell them what you thought they did well.
5
Suggestions Making suggestions means giving the author some specific ideas about how to make his or her writing better. For example - Instead of, “It didn’t make sense,” say, “If you add more details after this sentence, it would be more clear.”
6
Corrections Corrections means checking your peer’s paper for: Spelling mistakes Grammar mistakes Missing punctuation Incomplete or run-on sentences
7
Peer Editing Take all of these components into account when editing your own or another student’s work.
