Our group discussion
regarding our artifact papers was very informative. Individually we went over every underlying
aspect of potential flaw. Did our papers
read fluently? Were too many filler words used? Did we specify? As feedback was provided it became clearer
and clearer that is no such thing as a “perfect paper”, and everyone’s writing
style is unique. We were all given
criticism, but it was up to us to figure out what criticism we take, and what
we choose to discard. Working together collaboratively we were able to give
each person lots of great feedback about what we thought the strengths and
weaknesses were on each of the segments. Most of us in the group found out what
parts of the paper we need to elaborate more on and expand giving more detail
and structure to our writings. Also by expanding the details on certain points
were able to give the reader a better back drop and understanding of whole
scene to make it feel like whoever is reading it is actually there, creating a thorough
mental visual picture.
As a unit we were taught
to not just write about the literal, but also the deeper underlying concept and
story that came about through our artifacts.
What our artifacts meant to us, how they impacted us a certain point in
our life, and the emotion that was brought forth with our artifacts. Whether it was a writing assignment given to
us at a young age or a rap song that influenced our lives, one thing was clear,
our artifacts all meant something to us on a personal level. A connection to self that we are trying to
explain and can only express through our writing. It’s also pretty cool to get
to know everyone in our group and learn each individuals writing style and
theme. It can even help diversify our own pieces by seeing what other people
need to work on, and asking ourselves, “maybe I can even work on that”. We learned
through our group meeting that not only can we use own our feedback but listen
to others and take it all into building a better paper to express our thoughts.
Every writer can use as much proof reads as they can get because each time it
will show more details you find you can work on or tweak to give a more
specific paper.
