Peer Review- “Be able to critique their own and others’ work by emphasizing global revision early in the writing process and local revision later in the process.” (Brod).
I think that throughout this course I have been able to get better at critiquing others’ work by leaving good and positive but unpacked and needed peer review comments. In high school I used to be a bit more harsher in really focusing on how my peers could change to become better at their work. I did much more hunting and searching but only for more of the local revision type needs. I feel like through this class it’s more of a global revision type needs that I’ve helped some of peers with. But by picking through their essays I’ve noticed “hey maybe I realize I don’t have a naysayer in my own essay” And then It opens my eyes to my own work and puts me in a “peer review frame of mind”.
Work Sample #1: This is from my last Peer-Review I did in class. It is the end comment I left a peer.
You can see that I left two major pieces of the essay that I believed could help my peer make his point and argument so much better!
Work Sample #2
These two comments are ones I left my peer about his thesis and intro paragraph.
Work Sample #3:
Peer review also helped me a lot to make my points much more in depth and make more sense to my reader.
I think that peer review helped me with making my ideas and arguments more meaningful and connected.
