What I expect of peer review


         The process of peer review is to read each others work and carefully, make helpful comments, to make improvements on errors. We are using our judgment and knowledge within our scope of English we have learned. We are equally qualified to share opinions and comments with each other in order to improve our writing skills we gain negative and positive feedback to revise a finial draft to compose a great essay.

         For peer review to be a positive and effective part of writing you must receive a bias opinion that is not to be criticized unfairly. As a peer reviewer myself, I need to trust the judgment of my fellow peer group also in return they must have trust in my opinion. With all the positive and negative feedback that I receive for my peers through instructions on how to improve my grammar errors, run on sentences, verb agreements and more English rules to follow, we can compose a paper to turn into our instructor for a proper grade. As for myself, I some times forget to use the rules of English when writing, my mind seems to wander a lot, so having feedback helps when organizing my thoughts on paper.
        
         My strengths for being a peer reviewer comes from being a fair person on my judgment calls, I speak the truth always willing to share positive information with my fellow student to help them. My weakness as a peer reviewer comes from my difficulty with speech. English has always been a mountain I have been trying to climb, the task of knowing all the rules needs to stay and I need to apply them deeper in my mind.

         When writing I the first stages of my essays, I find a good process that helps me is all the feedback I receive from peers and my instructor, writing is made simple and now is becoming a fun project, I can use my mind to write and create a masterpiece of my own.

        


My Pattern of Errors


      IN my writings this was necessary long sentences. Many of these sentences appear to start in one direction and ends up some where else. Words are misplaced and phrases, Peers of mine caught a few fragments sentences. That were lengthy and the reader became exhausted.

      When analyzing a few of my papers I identified problems with verb endings such as A and an. Because of my problem with speech, this has become disruptive problem for me. The first essay I try to accomplish problems appeared quite frequently with the subject verb agreement.

    Turning my paper in to Ms. Spencer helped me, with her explanations of how I souid become more creative while writing, write from my heart. When Ms. Spencer edited my essays she helped me find additional errors that 2 could not find on my own.

     Reading the essay out loud became a tool for me this year, I heard a lot of errors while reading my own essays. Proof reading over each sentence and high lighting mistakes become a long process. Large categories of sentence punctuation errors were very noticeable when peers read over my paper only let me blind to see my own errors.

      I know now try to start with the error that is confusing to me the most, subject verb agreement and I a list of errors as I spotted them  and try to shape my paper as I use a English guide book when I revised my papers. I struggle a lot this year but the English tutor and Ms. Spencer helped me become more experience at listening and reading my papers only to find my own errors. 



I’m lovin it, “McDonalds “


           Why are McDonald’s sales doing so well?  With the great advertisements, this company has came up with as a lot to do with it and how the company is willing to change to accommodate the need for tend in different areas of sales. Take the new advertisement of their coffee; you can still buy coffee for one dollar at McDonalds. McDonald Advertise about their new McCafe’ in every chain of their stores. They have upgrade a new cafĂ© to sell various coffee choices, to compete with the new tend of coffee drinkers that are hitting Starbucks. McDonald advertisements are not just in their food restaurants but in the news, billboards, park benches, the radio, trying new methods to compete with the other fast food chains. 

         I found McDonalds, an interesting company to do my essay about for several reasons, first being, since I was a kid McDonalds has always been the greatest outing as a family we did on Saturday nights. I find McDonalds to be easy to write about due to the big advertisements and the popularity of the fast food chain. I did not choose any advertisements from the list due to McDonalds pop into to head and I wanted to write about something I love, McDonald’s restaurant. McDonalds has always show young and adults it is the largest fast food chain restaurants and always a great retreat to eat at, would it be their drive thru or sit down in their cozy style areas, you can always enjoy your meal, eating McDonalds.
