I really liked Bryan Rothamel's idea for us to edit each others articles before we turn them in. Critiquing the articles in class on the big screen was helpful, but it was sometimes difficult because I hadn't read the article and felt a little lost.
In other classes I have edited my classmates papers and think it works really well because it gives you a chance to learn from others mistakes, see their strengths and correct your own.
I am looking forward to writing the performance article because it is unlike any article I have ever written. I am glad we are practicing in class because as we talked about, it can probably be a little awkward to watch someone and hope they don't notice. I am looking forward to trying it out.

Megan,
glad the peer review was helpful. I also like Bryan's idea; I think this way, you guys benefit more and get to do something about the peer comments.
About the performance description, I hope it turns out to be interesting. For the class exercise on that, I really don't think we're going to scare off people :) I plan to have the class divide in small groups of two or three, and each group will just sit casually watching someone or something and write about it.
