Question: How can students turn a negative critique of their writing into a positive?
Answer: “Know what you want to be critiqued in your writing.”
. “Be open to change.”
. “Put emotion on the back-burner.”
. Ask questions about the criticism and the material being criticized. Be specific. Students will probably have to learn how to ask for helpful responses.
. “Turn negative feedback into positive action.”
Comment: After each peer-editing session, ask students to reflect on the effectiveness of the session, probably in writing. Help students to learn how to put criticism in positive language. RayS.
