Topic 4 Video 2 Peer Review Strategies

Peer review is one of the most effective strategies for improving writing because it provides a fresh perspective on a draft before it is submitted. Writers often become so familiar with their own work that they overlook unclear ideas, weak organization, grammatical mistakes, or missing information. A thoughtful peer review process allows another reader to evaluate the writing from the audience's point of view and provide constructive suggestions that strengthen the final product. Rather than focusing only on finding errors, peer review encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and continuous improvement.
