1. I'm actually really enjoying the feedback I'm getting from classmates! Honestly, I didn't think that I would. It's fun to read what others think of my stories. It also helps me look for errors or inconsistencies in my writing. I mostly like the suggestions that they make for my stories. They suggest adding to the story in ways that I didn't think of before. Their questions make me think more about my own story/plot line. When I read my own writing it all makes sense to me, so it's hard to see what others are thinking. The feedback from the class helps me with that.
2. I think that my own feedback is okay. Since I'm trying to use similar feedback strategies (the WWW method), I feel like I'm saying the same things over and over. I also still feel back correcting other people's work-like is it okay to suggest an editing correction? I still like reading everyone's stories, but I feel more comfortable responding to their introductions more than their stories. I don't mind saying things that I like, but I still struggle with giving constructive criticisms.
3. Yes! I do feel like I'm getting to know people through the blogs! I enjoy reading people's introductions and seeing all of their great pictures. I think that my introduction is okay, but after seeing everyone else's I think I could've added more personal information about myself. I felt like everyone had a good story to tell, but mine was more of a list of things I like lol. It's hard for me to write about myself for some reason. I also think that I made a mistake to linking to my previous introduction. I figured people would click the link and read it, but from the comments, I don't think they did lol.
4. I think that I need to try out different strategies for feedback. Since I'm sticking to WWW, most of my comments seem the same to me. I think I can trust look for new things to focus on. It would help me if other people pointed out things that they want from feedback. Maybe if they put a little note like "I had trouble with XXX" or "Please look at XXX part of my story". I think that would make people feel like their feedback is necessary and helpful!
5. From this class, I always remember how important feedback is for a storyteller. Other students in the class have great ideas for my stories and push me to improve my writing. I used to feel weird giving feedback, but now I understand how necessary it is.
