Critiquing work

It has been difficult for me when peer editing to look at global revision before paying attention to local revision. I tend to get stuck on the wording of a sentence if it doesn’t make sense to me and have a hard time looking at the big picture. During the first peer editing session my attention was grabbed by local revision errors and made minimal comments on global revisions. When editing during the second peer editing session I payed more attention to the author’s organization. I gave suggestions about the organization of the paragraphs and said to move quotes closer to the beginning of paragraphs. I also gave suggestions about connections they could make to the text with specific quotation examples to support their claims.  “People in the digital world tend to choose not to focus on communication like you said and you could support this with a quote from page 6 in Anderson’s text.”
