Peer Reviews

Peer review was not only helpful it was interesting. It gave us time to see what someone else thought about our paper but also to see their style in writing. It wasn't anything I didn't like, but I like how our group took turns and explained our comment so that they are completely understandable. If there was a comment we didn’t understand or was not correct we were able to point it out without any problems. I was kind of confused when I started the paper on my own and I didn’t know exactly where to go with it. When one of my members told me to add more about my experiences, how literacy affected me through out my life, and not so much of defining literacy. We also took time out to make sure we understood each other’s point. At first we tried to guess each other’s points and it made it more interesting. I was able to come up with a point on what literacy meant to me and also how it affected me through my years in school. Personally I gained a lot of knowledge on what the audience may be looking for. At first I was confused about the topic and how we were supposed to go about it. When we had peer reviews it actually made clear what I was supposed to be writing about. They gave me ideas on how I could relate my paper to myself. I gained a lot of insight from the peer reviews. I feel like it would be very helpful to do it again.
