Writing Peer Reviews Top !0 Mistakes
This video is very entertaining with the children and their nicknames. It is the nicknames of the children that help us understand that a peer review can be done in so many different ways. In this video it always went back to something that was positive, that is why I think when you have a negative comment about someones work, you should always make a way to bring it to be a positive. When you are giving a peer or classmate feedback on their work, you should always think how would I want them to correct my mistakes. By watching this video it has opened my mind and shown me ways to be able to cut out a lot of my mistakes that I have made that way they will not happen in the future.
Peer Editing with Perfection Tutorial
As I watched this tutorial, it taught me that you need to correct your peers so that it does not happen again, and to help them understand why it is wrong. It showed me that you need to be more tactful when giving a review, because you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. When you are giving the review you do not want to sound like too picky, and that you point out everything of their work. This will help me as a teacher in my future classroom, so I will understand when and how to correct my students. It will be my responsibility to make sure my students understand to peer edit their work and maybe catch their mistakes before their work is turned in for grades. I believe no matter who paper you are editing you should always start with the positive things, and then also make the negative a good thing. For Example: a student may be doing really good with detail on a test, but has the wrong date. You could say, "Bo you did really good describing everything that lead to the event and why it happened, but next time make sure you have correct date because dates are a big thing in History".
Hey Carissa Watford!
ReplyDeleteI liked the video with the kids as well! I heard a couple classmates saying that they hated that video, but I'm glad that I wasn't the only one that found it enjoyable.
"It showed me that you need to be more tactful when giving a review, because you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar." I love this analogy of yours! It is very catchy and can make your readers think.
I do have a few suggestions for this post. The first thing is that you need a photo with every post. You'll find this on page six of the blog posts pdf, and don't forget to do the alt and title modifiers. Another suggestion I have is to make links to your sources. That way your reader can experience the journey you went on for the post. You could also underline the two subtitles in your post. You can find out how to make a link or underline if you delve through the information Dr. Strange gave us at the beginning of the class. Of course, you could just Google it! The last thing for my suggestions is that the third and fifth sentences in the first paragraph are a bit long. I'm not sure if there is an error or not, but I had to actually focus when reading it to see the flow. That is a super easy fix! Just split sentences if they have too many parts.
As far as small grammatical errors, there were a few of them. In your first subtitle, you have "Top !0 Mistakes" instead of 10. Of course that's just a simple shift mistake, and I make them sometimes too! "I believe no matter who paper you are editing..." For this part, it should be whose paper. Also, at the very end of your post, the period needs to be inside of the quotations.
Overall, you did a good job with your post! Good luck in the rest of your journey through this EDM310 course!
