D#7 HW# 4.1: Howe Writing Initiative : Teaching Team Writing - 0 views

    • Alex Portela
       
      This is a good comparable site to part of our team writing text. Several factors like editing and proofreading relate more to the details in part 2 chapter 6 in revising team member's work. In relation to part one it does express organization from the beginning and accountability. We have to set deadlines and brainstorm how to structure collaboration for this assignment.
  • Team writing makes invention strategies public and explicit (brainstorming, listing, outlining). Team writing encourages multiple perspectives and multiple drafts. Team writing demands revision, analysis of revision strategies, and makes revision public and explicit. Team writing focuses on the presentation of the final product, encouraging editing and proofreading. Team writing allows writers to recognize differences in style, tone, organization among different writers. Team writing forces writers to reflect on their own and others' strengths, weaknesses, and individual styles and processes of writing. Team writing demands analysis of rhetorical and stylistic choices.
  • FACTORS in SUCCESSFUL TEAM WRITING the degree to which goals are clearly articulated and shared the degree of openness and mutual respect among group members the degree of control writers have over the text the degree to which writers can respond to others who may modify the text the way credit (directly or indirectly) is given an agreed-upon procedure for responding to work in process and for revising/editing

  • Set deadlines for drafts; devote one whole team meeting to responses/revision of drafts. Develop, as a team, a series of questions for each reader to ask about other writers' drafts; decide, as a team, what you want to look for in each writer's draft Before distributing drafts to the team, each writer should provide a cover letter with the draft, explaining what she/he tried to accomplish, pointing out strengths/weaknesses, and asking readers specific questions about problem areas. Write back to each writer and be prepared to discuss your responses. Provide both positive and negative feedback to writers. Be descriptive, pointing to particular sections or sentences, providing suggestions for revision and explanations of those changes.
  • As the team projects progress, ask students to monitor their progress in writing, by submitting weekly minutes, for example.
  • PLANS FOR COMPLETION What tasks are left to do? How have you divided/assigned them? What do you still need to find? Do you have enough/too much material for your presentation? TEAM PROCESS Describe the way your team is working together. How have you organized the work? Division of tasks? Lead writer? Lead researcher? Lead presenter? Any problems in the team process?

D #7 HW #4 Study Skills: Team Work Skills for Group Projects - 0 views

  •  
    This website offers suggestions made by actual students on "surviving" and "thriving" in a group project environment. One student reiterates Team Writing by suggesting the use of a team charter. A "kick-out" clause is included here, which clear states the consequences if someone does not attend meetings or does his or her work. Other students bring up being open-minded about criticism from other team members and listening to their advice. However, this site recommends assigning roles based on the members' strengths, not on what they would like to learn. I suppose it depends on the deadline and complexity of the project.

    I like this site because it breaks down each individual part of the aspects that need to be included in writing instructions. Something that will help me when I am doing Project #1 is that this page gives me a list of what sections are required to write instructions and explains them all. It states that instructions need a title, introduction, list of tools, steps, and finally a conclusion.

Deadline #2. HW #2. Emphasis - Basic Principles of Design - 0 views

    • Alex Portela
       
      This is another website example of how emphasis on a focal point can be crucial. One statement here is that some designers will try to highlight everything in one visual. This will cause it to look too busy and may lose interest.
  •  
    This website provides a definition of emphasis as well as describes the importance of using emphasis in your design. It makes a good point by saying that if everything is equally emphasized then the design can look too busy. I like that the author of the webpage gives tips on how to include emphasis in designs.

Deadline #2. HW #2. The Principles of Design - 0 views

  •  
    This website provides a concise explanation of emphasis and ways to use it effectively. It gives you three questions to ask yourself that were also stated in our text in order to identify which is the primary message of emphasis, which is the second, etc. I like that it provides examples of emphasis and by clicking on the image, they tell you what is emphasized in the picture and how the focal point is established.

  •  
    I thought this webpage was useful because it took a poorly designed page and showed how to improve it with alignment. I liked that it took you step by step to what was done to improve the design using alignment on different elements of the page.

Deadline #7 HW #6-Public Domain-Stanford Copyright & Fair Use - The Public Domain - 0 views

  •  
    This webpage touched on the idea of public domain. I think it goes hand in hand with the two other websites that I bookmarked about Copyright and Fair Use. It also presented different sections that contain information about public domain in different countries, modified works, and compilations among other things.

Deadline #7 HW#4-Team Writing-Team Building - 0 views

  •  
    Not all of this website had to do with what we read about in Part 1. However, what I found important was that it mentioned the importance of a project manager.It also discussed that meetings were important and presented different ways of non-verbal communication with our team such as emails.

Deadline #7 HW#4- Team Writing-Team Charter - 0 views

  •  
    One of the more important things that I got out of reading Part One is the importance of a Team charter. This website just elaborates a little more on what goes into each of the sections in the team charter.
