This week in English class we got into groups to read and revise each
other’s Pop Culture persuasive essays. There were about four to five of us in
each group and we were instructed to read our papers aloud twice to our group
and do revisions. The first time others in the group just listened as we read.
The second time around the group had to write down their opinions and likes and
dislikes of the paper, pretty much constructive criticism. When we were done
reading we shared our ideas and what we wrote down everyone seemed to the take
the peer revisions openly and heard everything we had to d=say. It was four
people in my group everyone one had really good papers. All having good
subjects and points to make their papers interesting. Everyone in the group had
to participate even of the paper wasn’t complete. I think it was a good process
to have our peers evaluate our rough drafts. When Mr. Sweeney gave us the rough
draft deadline I thought he would be evaluating the papers himself. Also that
week a grammar schammar group presented their topic. They had number 4 which
was subject verb agreement. They taught on the subject for about twenty minutes
showing how it is used correctly and incorrectly. We did a worksheet and they played
a fill in the blank correctly game, giving candy to the ones that got the
worksheet and fill in the blank questions right.
