HW 2/10

Summary HW 2/10 “Responding”

            The writer instructs a student, who is peer editing, the do’s and don’ts’ on editing with the intention of really helping the writer. He wants you to establish a position when reading your friends paper, specifically a test pilot or first line of defense. He also talks about your intended goals when editing, specifically editing as a reader not a hater. Instructions on bouncing feedback to the writer on his/her paper. Comment lightly and where needed most. He doesn’t want you to mark the crap out of the paper, it isn’t good for the writer and keeps your feedback clear and simple. Don’t praise the paper, no one is perfect and also be detailed when addressing a concern in your comments. Ultimately we are instructed to give the writer space, details, and opportunity to grow and progress with our reader’s feedback.
