Today's seminar was the first time we had brought part of our essays in, for another student to read the work and make critical suggestions. It was a close reading task to give us a look into other peoples work and how they are writing their essay. We then got into small groups to discuss the work we had read, and why we thought our marking was the best feedback for the author.
We collected our writing from the editor, to then make amendments where needed.
Homework for this lesson was to also bring a few images that could be useful throughout our essay; we wrote down descriptions for each image, maximum of three sentences, making them concise and exact (clipped). The images were shown individually on the board and as a class we had to match our descriptions to the images. We learnt that good descriptions, thinking detailed and further into the image will help open more doors as to why the image exists.
