“As for collaboration, the English language arts have addressed the importance of peer response to writing. We have found that this interaction not only assists the writer in the development of writing but also assists the responder, who gains as a writer, a reader, a thinker, through talk with a peer. Such collaboration enables students to evaluate themselves and their own writing more competently and efficiently, making it possible for them to benefit from keeping a portfolio of their work, evaluating their own progress as evidenced in that compendium of work, and discussing that work with teachers, parents, and other students. We also know that word processing can be a valuable tool for students who are hesitant to ‘copy over’ or revise, who have poor handwriting, or who have trouble editing their own handwriting” (p. 40). =====
