Peer editing involves working with another student to improve writing. It follows three steps: compliments, suggestions, and corrections. For compliments, the editor identifies what the author did well in areas like word choice and sentence fluency. Suggestions provide specific recommendations for how the author could make the writing clearer or stronger. Corrections address any grammar or formatting issues. The process aims to help authors through positive feedback rather than criticism.
