Why Is Providing Meaningful Feedback Important?

What is Peer Editing?

Peer Editing is reading over someone elses work and making any corrections that could be needed. Also it means to give positive and helpful advice on how this person can improve on their writing skills. Peer Editing can be a very uncomfortable process at first but in the end it is a very rewarding tactic.

According to, "What is Peer Editing?" there are 3 steps to peer editing.

Step One: Compliments!! When editing someone elses work you must always treat them as you would have them treat you. NEVER say anything to purposely put down another person. Only say POSITIVE things that can help them with their writing.

Step Two: Suggestions!! It is very important when peer editing to not focus on every minor thing. Your not there to just correct their mistakes, your also there to provide useful propositions on how they can improve their writing skills.

Step Three: Corrections!! Making corrections is the way you truly connect with the writer. It is when you can literally read what their mind was thinking. So when you make corrections be precise and accurate. Make clear markings so there is no question as to what you were saying.
