Peer Correction by Juan Manuel Montoya

Read two of your classmates’ texts and help them check the following: 
  • Sentence structure
  • Subject-verb agreement
The verb corresponds to the subject → My friends was were students at the time.
  • Capitalization
Use CAPITAL letters at the beginning of sentences, questions, days of the week, months of the year, and proper names (people and places) → They went to Cinemark at 8:00 on Sunday.
  • Punctuation
Use periods at the end of sentences (never use commas) → I had left the house when you arrived.
Use commas to separate three or more items in a list → I used to watch sitcoms, soap operas, and cartoons.
Don’t use a comma for two items → I used to watch documentaries and cartoons.
Use commas to separate a depending clause from an independent clause → When I was a child, I moved there.
  • Tense appropriacy
Your classmates use different tenses appropriately with corresponding time phrases.
  • Coherence
Your classmate’s text is well organized and easy to read and understand.
  • Spelling and other aspects

Check the spelling of words and other aspects that you consider important
