This week has swept past, all the plans I made waving goodbye to me on a fast-moving train. That chugchugchugchugchug sound turning into me saying oopsoopsoopsoopsoopsoops as all the forgotten things sped by.
Last week's peer meeting was good, but somewhat fragmented with all the meetings and the review. We did, however, get to workshop a little of each other's work, which meant we wrote things, which means we're all on the right track. Though it was brief, I enjoyed the workshop. I think we are beginning to understand what each individual wants out of their project and are therefore learning to give proper feedback and help. Working in such a small group really makes that possible.
We also did a 10 minute quick write with a prompt provided by Heidi, inspired by the short story we read, assigned by me. This collaborative learning and practice is helping me learn to teach myself, to set my own rules and follow them without having to blindly follow an instructor. I'm learning what works for me and what doesn't.
Sounds like you had a little journey in the peer workshop Yes, sorry about the interruptions, but the next one, you've got it to yourselves. I am impressed that you were prepared with exercises. If you want to show someone...
ReplyDeleteYou folks are so on it!
ReplyDeleteI find this really exciting: "This collaborative learning and practice is helping me learn to teach myself, to set my own rules and follow them without having to blindly follow an instructor." I think this is one of the major goals of our journey this semester.
Excellent that you're learning how to hear each other's voices, understand each other's aims, and offer feedback that is relevant.
Great work!
