Enhancing Peer Revision: Crafting a Supportive Learning Environment

Peer revision is an essential practice that fosters collaboration and growth among classmates. By engaging in constructive critiques, students can offer each other valuable insights that enhance writing skills. While navigating peer feedback may lead to challenges, such as potential misunderstandings, establishing guidelines or "Rules of Conduct" can enhance the process. Together, we create an atmosphere where rules promote respect and effective participation. This workshop includes spelling and grammar exercises, video insights, and discussions that encourage inference and quoting to support arguments effectively.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Peer-Revision “Being a helpfull classmate.”

  2. Why Peer-Revise? • What helpful critiques have you heard from your peers? • Have you’re peers ever offended you during peer-revision? • Do you like to peer-revise?

  3. Before we begin… • We need to astablish “Rules of Conduct” that we all must follow during this process. • At your tables, come up with at least 3 rules or preferences that you would like your peers to follow during the peer-revision process. • We will share them and create our own “10 Commandments of Conduct.”

  4. YOUR MAKING THE RULES. NOT ME!!!!

  5. Spelling • Individually (no talking), correct the spelling mistake from each sentence. • Each sentence has only one. • When you are done look up at me. • Do you know of any other words that you think are easy to mispell?

  6. Grammar • Individually (no talking), correct the grammar mistake from each sentence. • Each sentence have only one. • When you are done look up at me. • Do you know of any other grammar mistakes that you think are easy to make?

  7. Video Time! • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1EFyyoxa4k • Why dose Andy Rooney get angry at Ali G?

  8. Summary v. Inference • Summary • It’s okay in small doses. • If your entire paper is summary, you will not be able to create a effective argument. • When you trying to win an argument, what is the point of repeating everything that happened that led up to the argument? • Instead, talk about WHY YOU FEEL the way YOU do….

  9. Summary v. Inference • Inference • To infer means to “guess.” • Use your knowledge of the text to create a personal opinion. • This is the first step on the road to winning an argument! • If you have evidince to backup your claim, you are good to go!

  10. Quoting • Quoting helps strengthen your inference. It legitimizes you’re ideas. • Example (3 sentence process) from Antaeus. • 1) TJ, unlike the gang, does not accept the fact that they cannot grow a garden on the rooftop. • 2) When TJ asks the gang to stop the adults, Blackie grimly states “No, they own the building.” • 3) This shows that the gang accepts the loss whereas TJ cannot.
