peer editing

Students reviewing drafts

Peer editing is the practice of students reviewing and critiquing each other's written work before final submission.

The process typically involves checking for errors, suggesting improvements, and providing feedback on clarity and organization.

We swapped essays for peer editing before turning in our final drafts.

The practice develops both writing and critical reading skills.
