This was a good day of editing, i really helped chandra with her paper because she didnt have any evidience and helped her write a better paper. Dispite the fact that you thought we were getting along:)

My paper was so all over the place in terms of organization, but this day helped me clear it up! Peer editing has been so beneficial. I think without it, my essay scores would be MUCH lower.

I really found this style of peer editing helpful, it allowed for people to give their opinons to me one on one including a discussion which I found beneficial in a different way then the group peer edits

I agree, I liked this style of editing better than the ones we've had in the past. It was sort of like a "free style". I was able to have a conversation with the author of the paper I read, which just so happened to be the same person that read mine. It helped me to strengthen both mine and my partners paper.

This day really helped me on my peer edit..
My peers gave me a lot of feed back on my paper.Which is so helpful for someone who is not the best writter in the class:) Thanks Lorena and Melissa N.

I continue to be grateful to have the opportunity to have my paper edited other than myself or Mr. Peters. It helps me grow as a writer and also as editing someone else's paper, it gives me more ideas to add on to my paper.

It was neat to read others papers, it gave me some ideas to where i can fix mine heavily, and where it doesnt need work. THere are some that actually seemed like their paper was ready to hand in, and others like myself who had much work to do.

Thanks for giving us today for peer editing, I got some help from mckenzie. And its really nice just to get your paper looked at while your looking at someone elses thinking about their ideas.
