Group Work

Based on our work last week, I’ve placed you into the following groups:

  • Fatima, Jaqy, Rebecca, & Simran
  • Eliana, Katherine, Kallisse, & Rajeev
  • Victoria, Persephone, Mariana, & Mithcie
  • Diana, Hongyan, Peter, & Rukhsar

If you are not in a group yet, I’ll meet with you during class to make a plan.

In your groups, look more closely at the following collaboratively authored texts: Efthymiou & Zea’s “Doing More with Barely Enough,” McNamee & Miley’s “Writing Center as Homeplace,” and Lunsford & Ede’s “Writing Togther” (available on Bb). Answer the following questions:

  1. What is the purpose of each text/excerpt we looked at today?
  2. Describe how the authors of each text negotiate or organize their voices, both individually and collaboratively.
  3. Which model of collaboration appeals most to your group? Why?
  4. Sketch out a rough outline or plan of your next steps as a group.

Homework

Begin drafting your next blog post “Our Group’s Current Writing Plan,” which builds upon questions 3 & 4 above. You will continue workin on this blog post next class as you move towards completing your Collaborative Learning History projects.
