Rewriting is punishment

from Lindemann, pg. 30

I've found that getting students to fully engage in the revision process is difficult; they do see it as punishment! And for the reasons Lindemann states. I like the idea of giving students more class time to workshop drafts where students can hear feedback from peers and the instructor. It would give them a space to hear if what they wrote and how they wrote it is working the way they intended. Initial comments should focus on content and presentation and stay away from grammar.
