Hi everyone, 

We'll now be spending the last part of our course revising and editing our research papers. This part will be much easier for most of you. 

Revising and Editing:
In today's class, we learned about revising and editing.  When you revise, you correct the content and structure of your research paper.  When you edit, you correct grammar and style mistakes.  

You then have some time to work on your peer editing task.  For this task, you will revise/edit your partner's concluding paragraph.  You need to complete the following for this task:
  1. complete the Peer Editing Worksheet
  2. make revision corrections (using blue pen) on your partner's paragraph
  3. make editing corrections (using red pen) on your partner's paragraph
  4. make a copy of the worksheet and your partner's concluding paragraph (with your corrections)

In next week's class, you will give the original copies to your partner, and the copies to me.  The worksheet is attached at the end of today's blog summary.  

Conferences:
For the last part of our lesson, you work on your peer editing activities and I had conferences with the first group of students. We will continue our conferences in next week's lesson in Room 217. 

Homework:
  1. Peer Editing Task (=10%)  
  2. Blog Comment #8
  3. Complete Conference Preparation Worksheet (conference group 1)

Blog Question #8
  1. How did you find the peer editing task?
  2. How long did it take to revise and edit your partner's conclusion?
