This was another one of those days where we were missing some of our group members, so things went by pretty quickly. Stephanie and I basically went through the procedure step by step; we decided to formulate our questions and then read the selection that was about voice. It was surprising how both our questions were indeed about writing in a way that seemed like an authentic representation of our voices. A question I asked about my piece was whether I had successfully created an illusion of dialogue in my writing. Stephanie responded that I did this, and that the structure of the dialogue actually helped give my thoughts more structure. A question that Stephanie asked about her piece was actually about the use of two voices- the voice of her as a child experiencing something, and the voice of reflection about that experience. She told me that the piece wasn't finished, but wanted to know which "voice " could be utilized more effectively. I thought that she actually did a good job of starting the piece with the younger voice to draw the reader in and going on to explain what she thinks with the older voice.

How fortuitous that the questions you planned to ask were related to the topic of the day: voice. It's too bad that you were not able to get the responses of the other two members of your group; perhaps you can ask them the same question (if it still matters to you) in your next meeting in order to obtain more than one point of view.
