Problems to Look for when Peer Editing
Directions: Read through your partner’s piece of writing and look for problems involving
mechanics and expression. If you think something is missing, use this editing mark (л) to
show where the missing part of the sentence should go. If you think that there is some
other kind of problem, put this mark ( ) under or next to the place where you think
you see a problem. If you know where the problem is, use the appropriate editing mark to indicate what the problem is.
