Meaningful feed back can be fun if you make it that way. There are three keys ways to provide feedback. First, complement the others persons work and always stay positive. Second, make suggestions on how his or her paper could be better. It could be a different word choice, more detail, or even better organization. Third, tell them corrections if you know something is spelled wrong or has the wrong punctuation. Everyone is human and we all make errors so help others how you would want to be helped.
I enjoyed watching the video Writing Peer Review Top 10 Mistakes that the students made. It gave good examples of what not to do. Some things that the students showed was don't be picky, don't not care, don't talk with other people, don't be a "generalizer", don't be mean, don't be loud, don't be pushy, don't get off-task, don't speed, don't be defensive. All these are good points of what not to do. If you ever think what you are saying or doing is not right then you probably shouldn't say or do it.
Thoughtful. Interesting.
