Group Meeting #6

Sorry about the late post.
For our most recent group meeting, we met in the cafeteria. We lacked one member, Christina, but still had a successful meeting. We began by reading the Criterion-Based Feedback handout, which detailed how to give feedback about the structure and style of one another's writing. We had three new pieces to look over. Leo continued to add to his story, Tal had a new one about her wisdom tooth removal, and Rachel had a new poem. Questions surrounding Leo's piece were about the change in paragraph length and length of sentences. The beginning has a series of short paragraphs with a few longer ones at the end. Almost all of the sentences are on the shorter side. The question was whether the other members of the group felt this needed to be tinkered with. The general opinion was that it worked, but that it would be good to continue with longer paragraphs and add in some longer sentences. Rachel's piece was made up of equal length stanzas, and we all agreed this worked.
Overall it was a succesful meeting.
