  1. Power Peer Editing Step-by-Step Program

  2. Power Peer Editing • Always remember these lessons: • A good peer editor makes a better self-editor because you learn by correcting other peoples’ work! • Treat your peer’s paper like you’ll be graded on his/her errors and weaknesses.

  3. Power Peer Editing • Step One: • Read your peer’s whole paper aloud. • This can be very quiet, but the point is to hear whether the words flow or are awkward. • Plug your ears and read aloud to block out other people around you.

  4. Power Peer Editing • Step Two: • Read the first paragraph again, aloud and... • Double check that paragraph has a good: • Hook- make your essay stand out with a catchy hook • Thesis statement • Elaboration (detail) • Establishment of topics discussed • Mark convention errors. • Save time: don’t re-word sentences. Put “awk” by awkward areas and move on. • Don’t fix the spelling- just circle the word and write “sp”

  5. Power Peer Editing • Step Three- Four-Five. • Read second paragraph (repeat third & fourth) • Double check: • Introductory sentence • Elaboration • Concluding sentence • Mark convention errors • Save time: don’t re-word sentences. Put “awk” by awkward areas and move on. • Don’t fix the spelling- just circle the word and write “sp”

  6. Power Peer Editing • Step Six. • Read conclusion • Double check: • Restatement of thesis • Detail, anecdote, examples, call to action • Mark convention errors • Save time: don’t re-word sentences. Put “awk” by awkward areas and move on. • Don’t fix the spelling- just circle the word and write “sp”

  7. Power Peer Editing • Step seven. • Does the person’s self-evaluation seem true? • Suggest to peer what their greatest area of weakness is: ideas/content, organization, sentence fluency, voice, or word choice. • Suggest what your peer’s greatest weakness on conventions is. • Go back to each paragraph and write a positive comment  if you didn’t already. Positive feedback makes writers happy. Add “peer edited by: ____________________” at the end of the paper Now you’re a Power Peer Editor!
