The Peer Review Form On Partner's Essay: Revision & Personal Feedback
Complete the peer-review form on your partner's essay. Once you're done, submit it on Blackboard and also bring a printed copy to class so that you can discuss it with your partner. Remember the peer-review guidelines we discussed!
Start with positive feedback. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. It's important to recognize your peers' strengths both to help them understand what they are doing right and to identify positive aspects of their writing that you can try to imitate.
Focus on issues that compromise meaning. Some issues make it hard to understand what exactly your peers are arguing. Try to give comments that will address areas where the content, organization, or language make comprehension difficult.
Make your feedback constructive. Just telling someone that what they are doing is wrong doesn't help them improve. When providing feedback, make specific suggestions about what your peers can do to improve their essay.
Soften your comments. This goes hand in hand with making feedback constructive. When pointing out an issue, phrase your feedback nicely. Instead of saying, “this is bad,” explain that “This area was a bit confusing to me because…”
Don't be afraid to suggest deep revisions. If the content and organization of a piece of writing are not successful, sometimes it's necessary to make big revisions. Focusing just on surface-level issues won't address the root of the problem. You'll help your peers more if you make them aware of deeper issues.
