reflecting on todays group work sept. 21, 2009

Today in class we all brought our rough drafts for our Email Etiquette Essay. We got in our original groups that we are usually in, during English class. While we were in our groups we had clearly discussed each and every persons rough draft email essay during the class period. While each person was reading their email assignment the others in the group listened very carefully. When the person who was reading was done reading the paper everyone in the group went around saying what they thought the persons paper needed and why it needed what we had said it did. The people in my group gave some pretty good advice to the other group members in group 3 or as were also called “The All Stars.” After all the people in my group had read their email etiquette essays that they had written it was finally my turn to read. While I was reading I could tell my group members were very in tuned to what I was having to say at the moment. After I had read my whole essay my group was supposed to give me advice on what I need to change and what else I needed to write in order to make m email etiquette essay better than what it was than. My group gave everyone else great and very helpful advice but when it was their turn to give me the advice it didn’t really happen. All my group really ended up telling me was that my essay was good and I did not really need to change anything. That’s the worst kind of advice someone can give you when your asking for their help to write an essay, a project or just an ordinary email. In the end my group was helpful to everyone else so I believe we worked well together that day!
