Looking back on my reviews on my group members papers I can
see that I ask lots of questions but don’t really give reasoning to asking
these questions. I looked at one paper from each of my members and can see that
I need to give more in depth explanations to why I asked a question or even made
a suggestion. I try to make friendly
suggestions to help them make better improvements to their papers. I try to
focus on things that will make their paper stronger by letting the writers know
where I’m confused in some places and to get to the main point of the paper.
For example, in the argumentative paper I wanted to see more facts in Danny’s
paper because I believe when your arguing about something having facts to back
up your papers always strengthens it. I think my comments like that speak more
to the situation and style of the paper. When I ask questions for clarity or when
Danny mentions his teacher that helped him with tutoring I asked him to include
more information about her so that the audience could really understand her
impact on him and feel like they know exactly who he’s talking about. Another
example of speaking to the audience is in Ryan’s argumentative paper is when he
used some medical terms that everyone might not be familiar with. I guess one
could say that my comments show a pattern of curiosity and lots of questions. What I value in writing would be clarity in a
paper along with plenty of details and a paper that supports the overall
situation presented. I’ve learned that myself as a writer need to go back
through my own papers and give myself many of the suggestions that I give my
peers because a lot of the things I ask them to do is exactly what I need to
provide in my own papers; I need to go more into depth, add more details and
also need to make sure my own paper possesses the style that I need to be
writing to.
