I had a great time reading and reflecting on the pieces of my classmates. I think my group was super creative while staying true to the topics that they felt excited about exploring through their characters.
I found the small group workshop to be intensely helpful as a reader. Being in such a small group forces you to have something to say, and being right in front of the writer challenges you to reflect on the usefulness of your criticism. As a writer, it was also helpful, but I have to agree with Vanessa, that being a big workshop writer and sifting through perspectives was a blessing that I really appreciate in retrospect.
I enjoyed our small workshops this week; I feel like working with a smaller group gives us more time to explore our thoughts and creates a comfortable atmosphere. That being said, I kind of missed having my work in the large workshop! When I received a dozen emails about my first nonfiction piece, the variety of perspectives and opinions really helped me work through new ideas for the revision process.
I appreciated the small group workshops this week as I was able to get some much needed feedback on my paper, which allowed me to see the different interpretations that came about through its ending and adjust it accordingly to make my intention in writing more clear.
I really appreciated the small group workshops. Since I experienced full group feedback on my piece before, I enjoyed the small groups a lot because I felt like my feedback was more concise and there were less repetitions. I also really liked getting to see my peers’ work and was able to observe more directions in which people took the fiction paper which was really interesting.
I really enjoyed being able to read, listen to, and provide feedback on other students’ fiction essays for the small group workshops this week. It was really interesting to be able to explore and discuss various styles of fiction writing! I especially enjoyed seeing aspects of fantasy written into some of the pieces.
The small group workshops so far have been a large highlight for me in this class. The small group workshops this week inspired a lot of interesting, engaging, and intimate discussions on the pieces looked at. Even though my piece was not workshopped in these small groups I still took a lot out of it, especially with regards to thinking about what type of content is best to highlight and focus on, or even get rid of in some cases, as I revise my unit piece.
The small group workshops were very helpful for receiving feedback and suggestions. It’s very interesting to see how people interpret each others work and to have to wait until the end to defend/explain your piece seems like a really important challenge.
I enjoyed being able to hear from the small groups regarding my work, I feel it gives voices less heard in the large group a chance to give their equally as valuable insight. I typically like workshopping in this class because I don’t think anyone sugarcoats anything but they do appreciate the hard work each of their peers put into their pieces.
