"Responding- Really Responding- to Other Students' Writing Reading Response"

 

• I would say this article is about doing a good job and helping out the writer edit a paper in a helpful matter. Commenting on other peoples papers helps students develop the content and thought of their writing. There will always be many different readers reading your papers, that pick up on many different things, and respond with their own individual idea that someone has already thought was good or bad. Having someone edit a paper may help a person see what he or she has to revise and make better to continue an ongoing work as a writer. The author stated “Point to problems and areas for improvement but do it in a constructive way.” See what you can do to push a writer outside of themselves to stretch their writing further then they have ever done before.

• I would say the author did argue his point well because he gave clear vivid examples and pictures to help show what a good paper edited looked like. He also gave examples on how to get started, what to say what not to say, how much or too little. I would say the audience would agree with her instead of disagree because she pretty much covered all she could say about a student’s paper. There are no holes left in this argument because the author covered just about everything when it comes to editing anther student’s paper. Gave me ideas and questions I could use on my blog more often. Also gave me ideas on how to help and give advice on papers instead of being like a teacher.

• I would agree with this author a lot because of the fact that he gave examples of an assignment between students. He also showed how to get started, The writers interests and aims for their topic while writing, the work of the class, the stage of drafting, comments, how to influence the writer to do better was covered and more thought out the whole article. This article just made me think about how papers are looked at and graded during years of school. It didn’t really affect my thinking on school? It just made me think of better ways to respond to people on their papers.

• My golden line from this article would be “Consider youself a friendly reader. A test pilot. A roommate who’s been asked to look over the paper and tell the writer what you think.” I picked this because you don’t tell a person what he or she wants to hear. You tell them the truth to help them become a better writer give them ideas you never thought of.  Don’t just say something’s to get the editing part done take your time and put effort towards it just like you would want your paper treated.
