Marking each others work at the beginning of the class is a way to receive positive advice and critical ideas - as we can't receive a marking or productive comments from any of the tutors (early feedback). I look out for academic writing, engaging sentences and APA6th referencing. Re-reading the work at least three times will help us notice much more than just marking the first time round - this will also come in handy with my own work (re-reading to add more detail, or take away parts that aren't needed).
The task given last week to bring in for today's seminar, was to write down 3-8 words in connection to my essay. Individuals were asked to read there words out, if any other student had the same word, they would read there list of words out. This task was made to help students open up different paths and different ways of looking at there essays. It could give us new ideas that we were struggling to create for paragraph subjects ideas.
After that, we got into groups and were given a picture, we wrote down around 10 key words on a separate sheet, making sure these words were descriptive, creative and 'over readings'. These creative words need to be used in our own essays to describe images we reference throughout.
The image and keywords were then passed onto the next group, for them to write a description of the image using most of the words our group had wrote down. We needed to be creative, making it emotive, experimental, abstract and unique.
