Critiquing
These past few weeks, our peers in our classes have been critiquing our work and telling us the positive and negative aspects of our poetry. I honestly like this aspect of our poetry workshop. It helps build us up as writers. I know many of my poetry is not "perfect" therefore it benefits me to hear what I can work on and how to make my writing better. A lot of my revisions have been made because of my peers. I know my strengths and weaknesses and how to make a good poem, better.

I agree! Critiquing others is a hard job though. You don't want to make others feel bad by saying the wrong thing. I try to include as much positive feedback as possible so the writer does not feel criticized. Also, having others read your work helps you better analyze why you wrote your piece the way you did. You get the "readers" point of view.
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree. Others perspectives really helped me gain a stronger grasp on how to write better poetry, telling me what they enjoyed and what could use some work. The workshop's constructive criticism in my opinion is probably the most effective tool used in this class.
