The main point of this reading was talking about peer reviews. When you are reviewing someone’s paper, you need to go through their writing as a reader, rather than a writer. As well as finding problems in their paper, you need to help to brainstorm ideas of how to fix each of the problems. If you get lost in some parts, then help make it more clear. If you can’t see the main idea, come up with some ways for them to implement it better into the paper. I am going to try and do a peer review workshop, to help and get feedback from others. You get a group of about 6 people and switch your papers around to get tips and ways that you can make your paper better. It will be good to get lots of different perspectives and opinions on my paper and different ways to improve it. Lots of times when you’re writing or revising your own paper, you only think of it in one way. Having others revise it will help you to open up your mind to other possibilities. I don’t do very well with criticism, I get very embarrassed and overly sensitive, so this will be something new for me.
