[Group work] Reflection

English 101: Introduction to College Writing – Spring 2013

[Group work] Reflection: working with, responding to and reflecting on others’ ideas

1.     Create a blog post and title it [Group work] Reflection.

2.     Write one paragraph reflecting on your group work.

a.     Were you working together? Why or why not?

b.     What is difficult about working with others’ ideas?

c.     How might others’ ideas help you with your essay?

3.     Look at the collection of one-pagers. Choose two to focus on and write one-paragraph (for each one-pager) considering for the following questions:

a.     What did this group include that surprised, intrigued, or confused you?

b.     Find their question. Try to answer them.

c.     How do you see their ideas working with your own groups’ ideas?

4.     Reading over all of the one-pagers, what new ideas or concerns do you have about the Stein article?

5.     Finally, write a tentative controlling purpose for your next interpretive essay. (Tentative! I just want you to begin to articulate your thoughts about the article into words.)
