Section 1. Writing reflecting by working with peers (about 500 words)

Please read peers’ free writing before starting

For this final memo, reflect on the communal, collaborative aspects of the RIP composing process. Your reflection should address ALL of the questions below.

1) How did workshopping your project in person with your group mates help you clarify your project’s purpose and genre?

2) How did workshopping your project in person with your group mates help you understand your audience’s point of view, values, and concerns, etc.?

3) How did workshopping your project in person with your group mates help you refine the language of your project, especially style, tone, and voice?

4) Summarize in a few sentences the most significant comments you received from your group mates during peer review.

5) Based on this feedback, what issues did you decide to prioritize in your revisions for Draft #2? Summarize the revision choices you made for Draft #2.

6) Was there any advice or feedback you chose to ignore or postpone? What was it, and why did you deprioritize it?

7) What did you find most helpful to you in giving feedback to your peers? In other words, how did reading and commenting help you tackle revisions in your own draft?

8) What do you understand about the rhetorical aspects of your writing process now that you have completed the RIP? Put another way, how does writing for a specific audience and a specific purpose shape your rhetorical choices as a writer?
