Conferencing with Peers

I have mixed feelings on revising and editing with peers. I do like revising and editing with peers because I think its important to have someone else look at your work, and possibly find things in your writing that you may over look. Especially, since most people write the way they talk. I dislike revising and editing some because I personally am not the greatest at writing, and would find it as a disadvantage to someone who's paper I was editing\revising. Also, Im not a big fan of people reading what I write because I wonder what others might think of it.

I think that revising\editing would possibly work in upper elementary, but not in lower elementary. I think teacher\student revising and editing would work better. In middle\secondary I think you could defintally do peer revising and editing. The students are more familiar with grammar, and sentence structure to the point where they could help there classmates.

  1. Time and experience revising/editing will assist you in increasing your comfort level with this type of activity. Remember, one day you will be the writing expert of your classroom!
