My second class with Helena is coming up Thursday, by then we must bring in our first essays complete so we can look them over and peer edit. One thing I learned was that peer editing with people who know you isn't always the best idea. Though you may have confidence with each other and know they are good at english, they have also developed a bias for you and your stories. They can visually fill in any blanks in your writing so that it makes sense, something that a stranger could never do. That is why it is recommended for your editors to hear your story for the first time when they are reading and editing your essay, so that no biases come into place and so the editing is done in a manner that will help you develop a visual essay for all audiences who may read it. |
