“I think the intro does a really good job of introducing pollen and why you are writing about it. You could start to introduce your own opinions on food/relationships and then reflect with those or compare in your thesis” I believe that developing the skills to be a resourceful peer editor is equally as difficult as becoming a proficient writer. To be successful in one you must have knowledge in the other, and the most significant critiquing is often not the first words on the paper. My early efforts of peer editing were less condensed, and in a sense, rudimentary. As my peer review skills developed over the semester, I noticed that the introduction of quotes became a much deeper subject to focus my peer review on. Combining Barclay formula with the thoughts of other peers, the structure and purpose of each paragraph is increasingly important to take note of. I would say that my most frequent annotation would be related to formatting quotes around opinions, intros, and the “meat” of the quote. More and more as I have focused on this formatting in my writing, I see the same influence of quote integration into other peers’ work, and therefore have developed my revision to reflect on that.  In class peer revision has been one of the more influential pieces of revision for me. One of the biggest things to help my writing as well as the peers’ writing I have reviewed is reading out loud in front of others. This kind of revision is perfect for finding problems with the flow of your paper, and sentence structure. Another benefit of reading out loud with peers is you are getting a live reaction of how your paper sits with readers. The skills I have developed over this course and paper #2 from a revision standpoint have been completely fundamentally different from my previous work. Everything from the comments I have, to revision starting as I begin to write has developed greatly.
