This was a great experience. I find that I am intrigued by the stories that my peers have to share. I find myself hoping to hear more. These are extraordinary people who are willing to share personal experiences.
In addition to learning from peer writing, I can see the value in reading my own narrative. It helps me to hear where I need to make revisions. This was a valuable exercise.
I have revisions to create as well, but for this course I am looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteHaving students read their papers out loud to each other is also a great way to get them to think about audience concerns without them focusing on you (as the teacher/evaluator) as their primary audience.
