A. This text surprised me with the suggestion to ask the writer personal questions about how they felt towards the examples they refer to in the text. I always looked at peer review as a way to check what they already wrote and never thought to write things that might give them new ideas to add to their writing. I was also surprised with the importance to remember that you are a reader and not a editor for them which means I should be telling them more of my understanding and feeling about their writing instead of making small edits if its still one of their early rough drafts.
B. I definitely think the strategies in this text can help in the peer review. The first strategy that stuck out to me is asking them personal questions based on examples they gave in the text such as they felt about a certain event. Showing curiosity in the writing seems like it can be very beneficial for the writer to improve their work. Another strategy that stuck with me is giving the writer more of an idea on how you felt about parts of of the work. Giving the writer your interpretation can lad them to realize they need to change their wording or points to better portray their opinion.
C. I have done peer review before and it has occasionally been helpful but not nearly how helpful it could be with the strategies in this article. Most of the peer reviews I have participated in before have not been focused on asking personal questions instead we would usually focus on the essays having the elements required to get a high score.
