Greetings Wednesday was sooooo fun ^ - ^. i secretly hope we can do it again... but onward my friends!!! Tally Ho!


Paper #1:
Group Discussions and one-on-one tutoring. Which is best for a Literary essay.During the WC session on Wednesday. We, the tutors had a change to discuss in a group one of the subject for my MALS class. the concept of lying. After explaining the assignment. we all were able to engage in a group conversation. Even those who have not taken the course(literally) were able to participate.I was able to get several perspectives. even some participates disagreed with me. BUT when i had a one-on-one session. i was better able to organize my paper.

And so this is how i want to organize this paper.
first begin with the topic sentence(noted above. i will make it sound better later ;)) then give a definition of collaboration according to Murphy and Harris. define group collaboration and OOO collaboration. list the benefits of OOO collaboration(for example it helps with organizing) and drawbacks(only one opinion).Then give an example the class Wednesday and a great article in and walker(how OOO writers become dependent)
Next. Benefits of Group sessions quote Harris/Lunsford again(more then one opinion, helps narrow down a focus). and drawbacks Shamoon(pure tutoring)
give an example from a session(i asked the theatre department to let me sit in on their study session for their world theatre final, the students are given the topic in advance and are allowed an outline and rough draft during the exam)the then note
In the group we where
in closing express my opinion and which situations require form of tutoring.

Paper#2: If i am allowed to :wink:wink: i would probably like to tackle "the positive effects of collaborative methods in a writing center pertaining to students of the Arts i.e. Theatre, Fine Arts, Design etc. and which strategies would work best for them(20 questions, Burke's pentad)......(found one source already, but what happens if there no ARTS writers.....)
I would start the essay with a statement about the theory. with a definition of what collaboration in the writing center means. i would quote Lunsford and Murphy. probably give an example of a Collaboration technique used in the writing center.then what i observed in a tutoring sessions and Murial Harris.
