4. Did learners discuss and critique each others work? How was this done and what were the results?
Crystal: They definitely discussed and critiqued each other's work. They did
it formally and informally. We did peer editing. The atmosphere
that was created in the classroom through the community building
activities—the group dynamics that we had going on in that
classroom—were such that the results that came out of individuals
discussing each other's work were truly good results, beneficial
results. They felt that the feedback they got from their peers was
valuable feedback. They made changes accordingly. The people that
were doing the critiquing felt good that they were helping another
person, and then that person felt good about getting that input
and making those changes.
