Thursday Sept. 30

This Thursday everyone brought in their final two articles. The ones deemed helpful are listed below in case any of you would like to read up on them:

"Detection Diagnosis and the Stratefies of Revision"
-Linda Flower and John R. Hayes-JStor

"The Struggle itself: Teaching Writing as We Know We Should"-P.L Thomas--JStor

"Interactive Learning Through Web-Mediated Peer Review"-Nancy Trautmann--ASC

Reoccuring Themes To Ponder On:
1."Good Revision------------"Poor Revision"-There seems to be no gray area.
2."Discipline Specific"-We seem to only revise when writing for an English class and no place else.
3."Skip Revision"-It is non existent in alot of inexperienced writers' work.
4."Writer's Viewpoint"-It doesn't matter what anyone else says or the points they make, ultimately it is up to the writer whether or not to revise.
5."No Correct/Single Answer"-There is still no way to know if revision is correct.
6."Feedback"-This seems to play a big role in revising, but it depends on who it comes from and how honest they are.
7."More Research to be Done"-It is still early in the research done so far, so there are still alot of loose ends.
8."Writing is Revision and can Occur Anytime"-Again no set process of revision, the recursive and linear models are perfect examples.

And finally here are some points of disagreement:

Theory and Practice
1.Feedback/Extent
2.Revision can be practiced differently in other languages
3.Revision=Writing and then more writing to explain what you just wrote.

Missing Gaps
1.Student Point of View
2.No real conclusions/definitions
