Lindsey Valbuena #5 Group work

I liked the articles assigned in regards to writing workshops and having students work in groups, however my struggle is typically in level of depth in student feedback. I often find that students give fairly superficial feedback in general. This is not necessarily intentional, but I struggle with how to help students provide more meaningful feedback on peer essays. Some of this comes through training and practice I'm sure, but in the average school year, students may not receive the amount of practice necessary to really provide ideal level of feedback. I typically have students work in partners or small groups of 3-4. I'm wondering if it would be better to do a whole class workshop where I can model the type of feedback I expect of them.
