My class engaged in peer-review sessions as we were writing Project #2 to help each other improve our writing. I have personally found peer review to be incredibly beneficial in finishing my final draft, particularly for this specific piece. Peer review wasn’t used much in high school; we mostly just marked up our partners’ papers and didn’t discuss how to get better at what we were doing. When I first learned about this form of peer review in this class, I was eager to get some useful comments on my writing. After each draft, I’ve noticed that my pieces are becoming more distinctive and fluid, with more context. Peer review has given me a fresh outlook on my work, which has been quite helpful to me over time. As discussed in my Learning Outcome 1-page, global revisions are the focus of our peer-review sessions as it is still a draft. As well as local revisions focused later the process when finishing up and proofreading for spelling and grammar. In my Journal #16 attached I discussed my feedback from this peer-review session. I believe these sessions are beneficial to myself and others and we each get useful information out of it to put towards our essays. Throughout this class, as I’ve grown more and more, so have my comments on my classmates’ drafts. I always keep in mind that this is just a draft when I evaluate my remarks on other people’s work. This significant element has been emphasized in class discussions numerous times. In this round of peer review, I used Barclay’s Formula to concentrate on the essay’s structure. The usage of Barclay’s formula was the subject of many of my remarks in Jack’s essay that was attached. I believe it to be crucial when organizing our essays after learning about Barclay. In Jack’s essay, his second body paragraph he started it off with a quote. When peer-reviewing I stated, “I would try and follow the Barclay Formula and add a topic sentence, which you could pull from a part of your analysis”. Following my first peer review, I have started to dive deeper into these peer review papers and offer ways to fix things instead of just stating they need to be fixed. That specific marginal comment I made; I followed by stating an example of what sentence he could add to make a topic sentence. In my first peer review I had trouble trying to figure out what I should be commenting on and how to help others. In Jack’s essay at the last sentence of his first body paragraph, I stated, “This is good analysis, I think if you add a little more about how the two quotes are similar, and then explain the analysis more it would flow better”. Majority of my comments as shown, I mention ways to improve and ways to add things in certain areas if they want to. I believe I can continue to grow in this skill by discussing more about where people can add personalization or context. As well as helping people identify or build a thesis, as I struggle myself, I think it would be a great addition to my peer-review comments. Although I do believe my personal editing from peer-review along with what I edit on my classmates has improved greatly to meet this learning goal.
