The Narrative Essay Evolves

So today we did Peer Response Groups. This is the first time I have assigned this type of narrative essay and the first time I have used groups for peer response.
  • How did you think it went?
  • Were the responses helpful, vague, a little of both?
  • What did you learn about your essay?
  • Has this assignment gotten any better since your first FREAK OUT about its challenging nature and impossible task?

What do you need further instruction with in order to complete your next draft?

I thought the peer review groups were fun. The only problem I had was that some members of my group had not finished their essay which made the gropu pretty much pointless. From what I saw from other groups it seemed that people where giving honest, open comments about the story. To me, some of the questions did not seem usible, but that might change when I start reviewing my essay using student comments.
