The Benefits of Peer Review

Today in English class we had peer review I normally hate peer review and feel like it is a waste of time but I actually liked it today. What I liked about the peer review that we had in class today was that before we discussed each other’s papers we had to write down things about other papers. For example, three things that worked for the paper and three things that did not (even though I could not find three things). The peer review helped me, because both people that I worked in a group with presented ideas that I should think about for my final draft that I would definitely take into account for my final draft. For example, they said I should think about what the opposing side would have to say about my argument and try to argue against that. I did not think about that when I was writing my two page rough draft, so now that I will hopefully make that apart of my final draft; I would reach three to four pages. :)
