In high school in my english classes we would do peer reviews except they weren’t helpful at all because the comments were’t effective or didn’t help much. Most of them were “I like this” or “change this” but no one would ever suggest what to change it to or even why to change it. In this english class the peer review is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Through sharing my writing with my peers they are able to give me honest feedback and they actually leave great comments that are effective and comments that I use to change and make my paper better. My peers are able to help me with their knowledge to make my paper better and also they are able to suggest new ideas that I could add into my papers. Peer reviewing my peers work has helped me a lot. Through reading others papers it has helped me with my own righting because sometimes I am able to see and notice what really strong writing looks like. Also through reading their papers I am able to see other views and opinions on topics and it helps open my mind to new ideas. I think that peer reviews really help my papers a lot and make them so much better. I honestly think that without peer reviews my papers would be a whole letter grade lower.

My goal for my paper is to be able to show that in the world there is a clear beauty and there is a hidden beauty. I want people to realize how much hidden beauty there is around them and how much of it is passed everyday without being noticed. I think that if people were able to slow down and take their time and stop and notice all the beauty around them they would be so much happier in life and they would realize how much they are missing. After reading through the comment that were left on my paper, I know that I need to go back through and reword some of my sentences. I also need to find an area where I can add the video from class and I need to talk about it some where. My peers didn’t mention this but in my paper I personally feel like my topics I was talking about didn’t mesh together well. I feel like my biggest struggle is going to be able to make them all work together. I started to see this problem at the end of class, and I went to you for further help as I couldn’t think of any other ways than I already had to make them work together. You gave me a couple of great suggestions on what I can do to help fix this problem. For further help I could also go back to you to see what else I could do to fix these problems. Or I could go to SASC, digi space, or use my books that I have for class.
