Day 3: Peer Editing

For my writing workshop, we were given an AP. This AP is cut up into four stages, metaphorically the stages of a butterfly. This is the peer editing stage. In this post, we were looking at the students pieces and making revisions for them, and seeing what looked good and what didn't. 

The response that I was able to get from my partner was adding more imagery to my piece, which is something that I think I have trouble with sometimes. I'm usually a person who is to the point, rather than because more descriptive about it. She also said to check my grammar. Because this song/poem is in a different form, I punctuated differently. I didn't really think about punctuation in this case. It was more writing what I felt down, and not thinking about grammar. Now that I have dealt with this piece for a while, i'm able to look deeper into my mistakes, and make revisions. She liked specific lines like, "... I prefer to call myself the ignorant one, so that I don't look so lonely." Which is a line that I love because I think we all go through that in our life. We don't talk about something we truly think because we are afraid of the backlash we may get back.
