Outcome 4(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.
Never before in school have I been given specific guidelines step by step on peer review. Furthermore, never before in school have I had the opportunity to give peer review during class.
When looking back with Kristen over our first peer review session we had, she believed the comments I made for her had a balance between global and local revision. With my comments, she honed in on adding more personal experiences, as well as going more in depth in the personal experiences she already mentioned, and learned to shorten her quotes to focus on the text most beneficial in supporting her claims.
With a focus and priority on global revision from the beginning, my peer review from the first to third session had not changed significantly. But compared to high school much, I have a more developed global focus through an understanding of how to globally focus. Focussing on the “They Say” and “I Say”, proportion and essay requirements.
My work samples with show the last end comment I made and the last end comment I received from Ethan on essay 3.
In my end comment to Ethan on his third essay, I pinpointed my evaluation on his “I Say”, focussing on elaboration, the “They Say”, his effective source integration in supporting his claims, the paper general requirements as well as emphasizing bringing all his ideas back to the prompt. My feedback is based on helping Ethan get his overall message across.
Ethan’s end comment for me, gave me guidance in zoning on and bringing all my thoughts together. His feedback reminded me to dive deeper in my personal connections and explain simply why they are in my essay. Peer review and meeting with Professor Brod during his office hours was immensely beneficial in getting different perspectives on my writing, and finding ways to grow and expand my thoughts and ideas.
