After writing your first draft, it is a good idea to read it loud by yourself. This will help you to identify mistakes that you made when writing your paper. The second main thing is to take your paper to other people to read it also and make corrections where they see some mistakes. This process is called peer review, it is very good technique in writing good paper. Peer review helps to identify major and minor mistakes that the writer might not be able to identify. Mistakes like grammar and punctuation, comma splice, unnecessary word repetition, use of quotes etc.
Your teacher is not always going to be around to give you comments and tell you what to revise, edit, delete, or add in your papers. The goal of peer review, then, is to help you develop independent critical thinking and self-reliance in your writing so that when the course is over and the teacher is gone, you can still critique your and your peers' writing and critique it well.
Two heads are better than one, which is why peer reviews can help all students in a class.A peer review is simply a class session (many times an English composition class) dedicated to students' reviewing each other's papers. Sometimes the instructor will have specific instructions for the review session (for example, a set of questions to answer or particular things to look for), but others will simply ask their students to read their fellow students' papers and give feedback.
