These are two pictures of some of my peers' first drafts from the whole semester. When the semester started, I didn’t have the best peer review skills because we didn’t practice it too much when I was in high school, maybe only a couple times, so practicing it in ENG-110 has helped me develop better skills as a peer reviewer, and also apply those skills to my own writing. I wasn’t super confident in my peer review skills at first but as we discussed more as a class and I heard other people's skills when it came to peer review, it helped me develop better skills to give my peers better feedback. Throughout the semester I’ve gotten more confident in my peer review so I can give better feedback as we move through the semester and in future classes. I would start by reading the whole paragraph/ essay, and giving small comments as I went through for things that stood out to me like grammar mistakes. I then would give corrections on some words if I thought there was a stronger word, and to wrap it up I would state what I liked, and mark pieces of the paragraph or essay that stood out to me and that I thought were really strong. These are all skills I will carry throughout my future classes and when finishing out the semester in ENG-110. This is evidence for learning outcome number four because it shows how I was giving my peers feedback in a respectful manner.
