Responding Really Responding to Other Students Writing Summary:

By: Kerrigan Peters


This reading was written towards student, particularly writing students. It was
written to inform them on the proper way to respond to other students. I know
whenever I was given another peers paper to read over, especially when I first
started high school, I would only go through and edit punctuation or spelling errors.
With that being said, I can safely admit that throughout the years, I too had to learn
how to properly respond, revise, and edit a fellow students paper.
In this reading it was said that the paper you are reading isnt yours. That
may seem a bit redundant, but often times, we forget that when we begin changing
things in the paper to be how we like them. We need to take into account what that
specific student is trying to say and we need to understand how they are as a writer
to understand why they wrote this way. We were given a list that I believed was very
important to understand while going through and responding to a paper: the
assignment, the writers interests and aims, the work of the class, and the stage of
drafting. Without knowing about each of these things, you wont be able to properly
respond to this students paper in a way that will help them improve it.
Something else that was given was a list that said how to give comments.
One that really stood out to me was to offer advice. Examples of this would be to
say something like maybe put this sentence somewhere else. I enjoy getting
comments like this on my papers because I feel like comments along these lines are
the ones that truly help me improve my paper and make it better through each step
of the writing process.
