Throughout my writing career I've always had someone check over or read my writing. In high school there was a time of immense critiquing on all assignments freshman year. My papers mainly were grammatically checked for spelling mistakes and punctuation errors. Also, in my sophomore writing class's there was group and peer editing and revisions. Basically, we went through the universal writing cycle of revision which is, rough draft, grammar, revise, edit and type it again. The only good insight came from the teacher and that was to correct your papers subject if it was way off basis or didn't make sense, other wise you were on your own. This style of writing is effective but not necessarily good for growth as a writer. It was effective because your papers were neat and organized and didn't have any spelling mistakes. However there was no judgement on sentence structure, flow and things of that nature until you received your grade. Which by the time you received your grade you were over it and on to the next assignment.
What i would like to see from feedback in groups is solid writing revisions (grammar, sentence structure, punctuation) and mainly feedback that will help me get an A on my portfolio. I would like to see ruthless efficiency in my peer editors and hope they hold nothing back when critiquing my paper. I would like them to treat my paper as if it were their own and help me out with any structural mistakes, word choices, or irrelevant statements.
