  Peer response is about different ways to help people revision to help them like with a technique

called pqp(praise,question,polish). The praise part you tell them what you like about it.

The question part you ask them a question about why they said or did something. Polish you

suggest what they need for improvement. Pqp(praise,question,polish) was introduced to middle

school students using a technical called fishbowl. The fishbowl technique is when a group of

students role play for the class so they can learn pqr(praise,question,polish). Then the students

pqp(praise,question,polish).  where categorized as vague, general, but useful, and specific. Vague

is not very helpful. General, but useful is self-explanatory. Specific is they tell you whats wrong

and what you need to do to fix it. The class of students goes threw activities to get them to be

 more specific after all the activities there was significant progress in student comments.

Q&R

How  is pqp(praise,question,polish) technical describe in the article? Why it is important to have praise, question, and polish parts? What is praise, question, and polish?

In the article pqp technique is described as “this technical helps student focus on the task at hand

as well as maintain a positive attitude towards the critique process.” This technique requires a

group of students and each student reading while one student reads out load, after that they

comment the story with pqp form. It is important to have pqp because it helps a writer improve

there writing, and it helps the person leaving comments improved in constructive criticism, and

there writing. Praise is when the reader finds the best part of the paper and he tells the writer how

much he likes it. The question you ask the writer why they said or did something. The polish is

when they tell you what is wrong in detail and what to do to fix it.
