Writing Group Meeting 1/31/08

For the first part of this meeting, we read over the "Pointing and Center of Gravity" exercise and the sample essay about sprinkles. The essay was really stupid, but we were still able to get a grasp of how to "point" and how to find a "center of gravity." Then, we did this exercise for each of own pieces. Most of had just revised our object story, except for Chris, who brought something new in in the form of a script. Doing this helped us to point out the most important phrases in our writing and where you can identify the main ideas. One new addition to our meeting guidelines was that we should read our work as quickly as possible, yet still trying to be thorough, in order to spend more time on discussion and less time on actually reading.

Again,
-Mike E.
