When editing my group members we chose to do it in private under our Google docs. We chose to do it this way so we can see the corrections made to each others work. This way makes it easier to communicate. We also communicate through group text messages. My group members Ross Hollis and Erica Tripp are great to work with ,and we all try not to be a "Picky Peggy" when editing each others work.

Blog Post #3
Peer editing can be an effective way to critique a paper or assignment, but there are some simple rules you must follow. You first need to know what is okay to comment on; do not be a Picky Peggy that rips peers apart. Make corrections to grammatical errors and spelling errors. Remind your peer not to become too wordy when writing papers. Maybe suggest a different word choice. Last, make sure your peer stays on topic within the paper.

Now that we know what to comment about, here are some effective ways to comment. First, give your peer a compliment. This way, you are building your peer up before you let him or her down. Next, you must be positive when you comment, because being mean or rude is just going to offend your peer. Last, when you comment, be specific on what needs to be changed; do not leave your peer confused. Now that you know what to comment about and how to comment, you can leave your peer with an accurate critique.

Your post this week was very informative and I learned a lot from reading it. I would never want to be in the class of Picky Peggy. It is really hard to be creative when you are always worried that you may be wrong. I know that with lots of practice we will both steer away from Picky Peggy's techniques!
