Peer-Paper Relections

sorry i thought this posted already but i saw it didint
After you finish your final draft write ~250 words reflecting on the peer review. What was helpful about it and what was not. Did you get some good feedback? What did you apply to your paper (try to be specific). Do you feel like you have a better sense of what to look for when reading other and your own writing?
I thought what was helpful was the entire exposing your paper to someone else and accpeting criticism.Usually the only person i have to worry about reading my paper is my teacher or parent so it's not bad, but when it's a peer it becomes more like the audience reading it, so I found it useful. I recieved some good feedback in terms of sentences that seemed weird or spots in my paper where it seemed my point wasn't clear so that was helpful. Both people said that my conclusion was too broad and that one paragraph had a quote that seemed just thrown in so I chnaged that, as well as some awkward reading sentences. I also liked that by forcing us to read and edit another peer's thoroughly it helped me to understand that by knowing what to look for in someone else's paper, i realized what I needed to look for in my paper. Oh and the teacher notes really helped to know where i lost track of my point.
