A reader can tell you that: • You should add more details or explanation • Something is not organized clearly • You have some information that is not relevant • There is something hard to understand 2 To read more examples of writing and to see fresh ways of writing about others’ experiences, so you can have good ideas to use in the future.

  17. How to peer edit? 1- read your partner’s paper several times. 2- on second reading, go slowly looking at specific parts and make notes. 3- note places in cases of misunderstanding, unnecessary information, or not enough information. 4- showing the writer which parts are strong or interesting. 5- ask questions. 6- circle or underline the parts you would like to comment on. 7- don’t look for grammar or spelling mistakes.
