6.+Learning+to+Revise

The most important thing to do after engaging in the peer feedback process is to do something useful with the feedback. This process is called REVISION. Of course, you have done this in elementary school with marks, and middle school with white-out, but now, the process becomes more intricate.

View my suggestions for the writing process below:


 * 1. Understand the prompt:** highlight, circle, etc to ensure that you understand exactly what you're expected to do
 * 2. Draft your response:** write a rough draft
 * 3. Revise for grammar usage and mechanics:** re-read your paper to ensure that you are adhering to grammatical rules
 * 4. Revise for content and to ensure you are addressing the prompt:** ensure that you have answered the prompt assigned to you completely
 * 5. Revise for clarity:** make sure that your transitions are clear, and that your paper is cohesive

Now, you can submit your draft for feedback.

Remember, not all feedback is necessarily useful. However, we are working to ensure that we provide meaningful and useful feedback. Once you receive feedback, read all of the comments. See if that person found areas you didn't notice. If so, use this to revise the paper.

There may be some components you disagree with. If this is the case, discuss it with the person who issued you the feedback. If you are still unclear, ask for assistance from someone else.

If there are every any parts that seem fake or not credible, check with the issuer.
