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?

    Interesting comment in this blogpost about how some people need to write a first draft while others are able to write a first and only draft because of all the prep work they have done and are thinking about how they will write the paper.

    This source is thorough explanation of how to effectively write verbal instructions. It runs through the preliminaries (audience, situation, number of tasks, and the grouping of tasks), the common sense things to consider, and graphics, formating, and the revisions process. This guide is a great foundation for writing instructions that can be applied to a more visual approach for project one.
