It was confusing when I first started thinking about what I would write about in my Literacy Narrative. I couldn’t come up with three topics or conventions that I used as a part of my everyday life. I met with the professor, and he helped me put my thoughts together to develop the main point I was going to talk about. I chose three personal topics and connected all three into one. I was pretty late into writing my first draft, but I ended up finishing it and placing all my thoughts on paper. Peer review was probably the most effective method for refining my writing. My peers made good points on my writing and listed out mistakes I didn’t see myself. I made sure to add more to my bland statements as well. When second drafts would be due, I thought I was about done when my peers pointed out more mistakes I had made. This was an excellent way to connect with my classmates and help each other with our writing. As for my writing, I’m satisfied with how my narrative turned out, and I’m grateful for everyone that helped me out in the process.

Hi, Egan – I’m happy that you found our peer-review activities to be socially as well as intellectually valuable. It’s a great occasion to talk shop not only about your writing, but also your more casual or informal experiences as a Baruch student. What’s also important to note here is the fact that peer review expands the social dimensions of the writing process, reminding us that to write is to communicate, and to communicate is to be social.
Hey egan, I could relate to your writer’s letter to an extent. I also too felt the need to add more to my sentences and be a bit more detailed with them. I also agree with you it’s important to communicate when discussing ways to improve your writing! so it’s great you and your group did just that and you found success in improving your draft.
Hey Egan, it was really good that we had peer review and it was good that I was able to help you during the peer review. It was good you were able to add more details to your writing. Hopefully you get the grade that you want.
Egan,
I relate to the difficulty you faced when brainstorming the Literacy Narrative. I was overwhelmed and couldn’t think of these conventions and topics. Meeting with the professor also helped me with this and I slowly started to become a little less worried about writing this Literacy Narrative. I am also appreciative of my peers for their thoughts and commentary because my paper would not have turned out the way it would’ve without the help of our peers and professor.
