Peer editing is intended to help other students improve and to help you improve your copy-editing skills. For the rough draft of the Haight Ashbury Street Fair press release, I want you to peer edit 10 other students' papers during class time. Use a separate sheet of paper for each student's press release and answer the following questions:
1. Does the press release have a short, engaging headline and is it all CAPS and boldface?
2. Does the lead paragraph do a good job of promoting the fair?
3. Are there any factual mistakes based on the event website or any grammatical mistakes and did you mark them on the student's press release?
4. Are there any quotes in the press release and are they used effectively?
5. Does the press release do a good job of identifying and promoting the key events of the street fair?
6. Which press release was the best one in your opinion and why?
