i have experienced this type of activity for my senior year in high school. But i the think the thing that was new was that the writer of the essay read their paper out loud to the group. which was beneficial in that i was able to hear the mistake of awkward sentence structure. to be honest i don't believe we should change anything currently, i think that for as now it seems to be helpful.
ReplyDeletewhat i learned from the expression my peers gave me was they probably didn't understand certain movie comparisons. but other then that i received positive/helpful advises, that hopefully i'm able to make my essay better.
I agree with you when you said you listen to your peers read their essays. Normally, I think everyone's essay sounds decent until they read it out loud. I also agree with your experience in receiving feedback. I also feel like my peers helped me enough so I can go back and revise my essay and come back with an even greater draft.
Deletei agree on what your saying because this help people in different way in the group it help me because i have to work on my grammar a lot but also they are very honest with me which i like when people are being honesty with me. Also i agree when you read your essay loud you hear your mistake because when i read mine out loud i hear my mistake i did in my essay. so it helps to practice in a mirror or with a close friend because it helps to know what you need to fix or not.
DeleteI agree with how you said this activity really helps you to fix your mistakes. Also I liked the way you gave movie reference it actually gave me the idea of how to make my own essay better and creative. Your words were really captivating and the use of vocabulary was great.
DeleteI did do something like this in my senior year class in high school. it was new in a way because we had to talk about what we thing about the person essay instead of juts fixing the person work to see what they need to fix or what not. nothing was less helpful because the group i was in helped me a lot. i don't think you should change it because it was very helpful for me hearing different people options about my essay.
ReplyDeleteWhat i learn from the literacy narrative from my group if that they told me to work on my grammar and spelling that about it.the next step if to fix my grammar and spelling and indent too.
I agree with you, in high school I and my classmates used to just fix the work, actually doing it for them but never give each others suggestions. And same for me, I found it very helpful because they actually gave me suggestion about what could I changed and work on my grammar too, they were very honest.
DeleteI have never participated in a activity like the one we had today in class. I think this activity is very fun and interesting. This was new for me in the way that I have never critique someone else's work. This was help full because I got ideas from other people that would help me elaborate in my essay. The only thing I suggest about this group critique activity. Is that, it should be with more individuals to a group instead of three people.That way we can get more critique and more suggested to our work.I learned from my group that my literacy narrative was pretty well done. Just that I need to elaborate more and make into more details. The steps I need to take for my revision is make sure I have enough details to make my reader more interested in my essay.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jakeline because I think, details make our drafts more interestings and can express perfectly the situation we experienced also details let us be more flexible when we are writing and keep our peers focused on the draft, in this way we can make comments more deep and meaningful
DeleteI've done this type of activity before in high school during my senior year. But what's new for me is that the comments are very more honest and that's what I need to correct what's wrong on my essay and it's good to have another else's opinion on your essay. This group critique is very helpful because it opens up my mind to more ideas and by this I would know what to work on more. I would suggest that we should do this every time we have a paper to work on and add more people so we could get more opinions and suggestions. What I learn about my narrative from my group is that I need to elaborate more of my ideas. The steps I would for my next composition is to explain and be more specific on my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI have never participated in a group critique before. The most i did in high school was peer edit my classmates essays. We did not grade like how we grade it now in college. I enjoyed this because it allowed me to introduce myself to new faces and get to hear their different experiences with writing/or reading. I feel if we give genuine feedback and try to be specific and detailed as much as possible, we will be successful writers.
ReplyDeletei actually quite enjoyed reading your essay, it was well written and easy to understand. i actually liked how you related your 3rd or 4th paragraph to the Malcolm X reading.
DeleteI have never participated an activity like this before but, it was really interesting and helpful since at some point its grateful to heard or read other's people opinion/point of view about what we wrote. This activity helped me a lot because now I know what should I work more like my grammar, structure sentence and be a little bit more clear in mi ideas.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think I have ever participated in an activity like this before. Their feedback and opinion's proved to be essential in what I wrote. I found it very helpful that we critiqued another person's draft in that way we can learn from each other and we can be able to revise our mistakes in our writing. I think the group critique is great as it is, I wouldn't change anything about it.
ReplyDeleteWhat I learned from my literacy narrative in my group critique was that there is room for improvement in writing. There are things I would change in my paragraphs like to add more detail and be more descriptive with my thoughts.
Yes, I have participated in a activity like this before. Though this time it was a lot different than before. I did this activity in highschool last time and my group didn't know how to work. But this time I actually got good critiques from my group. This activity was really helpful to me. I believe we should have different people in the group for the next time so we can get different advices.
ReplyDeleteThey told me how they liked the way I explained the details. How I explained my story and the way I overcame the troubles. The steps I need to take to make my composition better is to fix my grammar. Also I need to fix the spelling mistakes I made.
Although I was not able to participate in this activity, I have had prior experience in something similar to the group critique. In middle school we would give a peer our work to review and there would be a worksheet for our response which would use different acronyms or words like glow and grow which would mean find something to praise and something that could be improved. The draft would be returned with worksheet for the student to revise.
