1 Text by Jette G. Hansen and Jun Liu
s Guiding Principles for Effective Peer Response
In
the text about peer response, the authors argue that peer response can be
useful not only at the end of the writing process, but at all stages of it. I
personally think this is true, because our peer can help us find ideas about
what to write about and, in team, students can brainstorm or exchange ideas on
subjects and their peer can help to find an idea that they will write about.
Students can also share their knowledge about the subject that their peers have
chosen and this will help them to create a better text since they can have the
opinion/thoughts from an outside view.
2. Hansen
and Liu suggest that the teacher should model the peer response process. Thus
will surely help students to go through this peer to peer response process.
When the teacher shows exactly what he (or she) wants students to do, the
teacher will not spend more time explaining to one student after the other what
peer response is. The teacher should provide examples on how peer review helped
other students to improve their text or how the teacher himself (or herself) is
helped by peer response when writing a text. Modeling is probably one of the
most important step when doing an activity with a group of students.
