writing groups

I can't believe how much help it was to have so many other people read my essay. I gained so many ideas from those who read it and I can't wait to see what Lois has to say. Thanks again!! It was extremely helpful to have the criterion based revision sheet available when we were revising yesterday. It gave me somewhere to start when reading the other essays. I'm definitely not a fluent writer, and probably never will be, so I hated to be critical of someone else's work. Since I followed the sheet, I didn't feel out of place with my comments.
