Don and Stephanie's 3rd "Group" Meeting!!

Hey guys, here’s an update of what Don and I discussed during our 3rd meeting (Shiori and Ting were absent).
--We read about “Summary and Sayback” and while looking at the samples of summary and sayback feedback, we noticed that many of the comments we made while reading “Black English” during our last meeting were similar to the sample feedback. Don and I realized that we often do utilize these two types of responses to discuss writing.
--We then looked at every group member’s piece and applied the feedback protocol we read about to their writing.
--Then Don and I talked about our focuses for this semester and realized that we each were interested in topics that the other had explored last semester. While I was able to give Don input on his piece about freedom and the implications of adhering to the norms of society, Don was able to discuss with me the interplay among cultural diversity, minority groups, and capitalism in America.

Hi Don and Stephanie,
Sounds like you made the most of a minimally-attended meeting. Hopefully Ting and Shiori have read the post to have a sense of what they missed.
It's pretty fascinating and fortuitous that the two of you are "trading" topics to some degree. I expect you'll find a lot to discuss that will propel your work in new directions.
I'll be interested to know if and how summary and sayback feedback plays into your revisions going forward.
