Q&R 3: Do the strategies presented in the article have any specific significance to students at the University level?
The studies done through out this article revolve around students in middle school. But the information and results the author’s presented lead me to believe that when applied correctly, the PQP method can be useful to university students. When reading in groups, you get to hear texts in another person’s voice; this can help you grasp the deeper meaning of a reading. This is especially critical when it comes to comprehending longer and more complex forms of text. You are then able to pin point personally, where and what the author could revise through constructive criticism, which can greatly help improve the way the reading is presented by the author.
Revising peer’s writings allows you to recognize things that, when revised, can help a paper be more organized and well delivered. Because revising peer’s papers requires the reader to provide specific comments that give the author general direction in improving the quality of their work, you are then able to familiarize yourself with these strategies and apply them to your own writings. That in itself has enough significance for me to conclude that the strategy of purpose, question, and praise can in fact be beneficial to students at the university level.
i like how you described peer writing. i agree more or less with all of your writing
ReplyDeleteI liked how you put your ideas clearly and support them indirectly
ReplyDeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. The PQP strategy will be so helpful not only for middle school students but for college students. If teachers start teaching this strategy at the early stages of education, students will be more prepared for the high-level readings and writings we face in college.
Both your question and response were good. You put your opinions. But I would recommend you to include some quotations (direct or indirect) so that your response is supported by the article.
Bye.
Well I think that revision is a positive thing when it comes to helping a paper sound more interesting. Just because one has his or hers paper revised doesn't mean that its incorrect is is just a method to help. All revision is is to help structure a paper. If teachers apply this method early on a students school years by the time the student reaches college writing will not be as difficult.
