  • Critical Review: The Reader-Response Critical School

    1196 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Reader-Response critical school focuses on the participation of the reader with the text and how her participation in the reading process affects a discussion of the text’s meanings. Though critics within the school lie on a spectrum with extremes that define the reader as passive or active, all can agree, the reader is integral to the reading process. The latter see readers as active creators of meaning (Staton 351). David Bleich falls on this end of the spectrum and his work underscores the subjectivity of critical interpretation by discussing that, the “observer is always part of what is being observed” (201). Consequently, he asserts that the study of literature cannot be independent of the study of people involved with it, so literature must be studied as a relationship between either the artist or writer and the work or between the reader and the work (Bleich 203).

  • Peer Writing Conferences

    2325 Words  | 5 Pages

    Peer writing conferences are important because they offer students a way to receive in depth feedback on their writing, as well as practice writing skills by evaluating the writing of others. However, even strong writers do not know how to give effective writing conferences, and when students do not have practice with writing conferences and or are not given instruction on how to give them, the conferences are short, vague and can become off topic. Teachers can increase the effectiveness of peer writing conferences by using scaffolding strategies such as modeling feedback, discussing writing as a large group, and using different techniques to have structured small group discussions. With guidance and practice, the teacher should be able to step back from these discussions as the student voices take over.

  • Final Reflection: Grasping the Writing Process

    Gradually through the whole semester, Peer Review sessions became a great and positive influence on my writing. It is very helpful to have two people with different views on writing read and critique my paper, and give me feedback on what they think I should improve or correct. We didn’t change peer review groups and I was very delighted because I have gotten a chance to see my group members grow as a writer. When it’s time to revise my paper before I turn it in for a grade, it is very helpful to have some options on what to exactly revise in my paper. For example, in my comparative analysis essay, both of my peer reviewers wrote that my introduction was not effective and i...

    One topic I enjoyed in this class was social interaction and social structure. Social interaction is how we interact with others in the world. Social structure is our status in the world. The one thing that stood out to me was the three different statuses. Ascribed status is a part of us, something that will never go away. My ascribed status is that I am an African American woman. Achieved status is the things we accomplish in life and put effort into. These are the things we freely do. My achieved status would be when I was in High School and I volunteered to mentor small kids at an elementary school. Also when I help my Aunt every year with grading her papers and helping her teach at her school. Master status is the status that makes up your

    Peer pressure is essential for self-development as it causes the person to be more aware of their mistakes. Peer pressure is when an individual is affected by the actions of their peers, pressuring them to do the same action. It could be anything from smoking, sex, or anything they may not believe they are ready for. Once decisions are made there is no way to undo what has already been said or done even if they are not mistakes. Peers have a way of influencing what type of person someone is and how they develop into a certain character.

At least three drafts should be made before submitting. Secondly, it is important for ideas to be organized.

Asking the professor or peers for critiques allows to see possible errors and ways to make the paper
