This is a document of a suspect accused of participating in a Writing Center (Doom:Doom).....
S=suspect/O=Officer

O:So, what happened in the class room?(crime scene)

S: well, firstly the class was broken up into 2 sessions, where both I and my partner has to tutor each other as ourselves and give pointers.

O: who was first?

I was the tutor at first, Awesome partnering, I was lucky, the main focus in are group was how to make it shorter, while remaining true to her topic sentence.

O: I see, did you follow protocol??

S: Not at all! first we started with paraphrasing her own paper paragraph by paragraph. (that helped to shorten in a little). Next, we went over the requirement list to make sure everything she needed was there.And finally, I read her paper to her, so she could check if that is the tone or voice she wanted. But we ran out of time to make a to-do list. :sigh:

O: what a shame, but that is not all that you did, IS IT?!?!

S:not at all, not at all.... we then switched place! I felt bad because i was all nervous. But, she did something even better. We started with the requirement list for the essay!!

O: AH HA!

S: Yes, by doing that, checking the list, then reading the sentence from the paper, made a difference. Now i know for sure that i at least had what was requested of me as the student. also, while reading aloud, i was able lookover the paper,'oh how would it sound if you moved that over there.'

O: Anything else??

S:Naw, we did have time to openly discuss the paper and make a to-do list for "homework"

O: Hummmmmmm. I see.....
