Blog Post #3

         While watching the videos and powerpoint that were assigned, I learned that there are three ways to provide feedback to peer reviews.  The first way is to compliment the writer.  Things like, I like your wording, or I enjoyed reading your post, are good things to comment.  Also, making suggestions to the writer can be helpful.  Suggesting that the writer should include more in their post or that they choose better word choice is effective for peer reviewing.  The last effective method to provide feedback is making corrections.  If the writer has spelling errors or even the organization of writing, the reviewer should include helpful ways to correct these things.

        Although these are helpful tools, peer reviewers can also make mistakes while reviewing.  It is not helpful to criticize the writer.  I also do not recommend to get off topic while reviewing a persons writing.  Sometimes peer reviewers are used to their own writing style, and they want the writer to incorporate the reviewers writing style into their writing.  Peer reviewers have to remember that everyone has their own writing style.  Also, the writer should be open to suggestions to help their writing.
