Question

Write a substantial paragraph or two, with a topic sentence or mini-thesis, through which you respond to the students in this video as you learn from the moves other writers make. You might begin by identifying the moments that stand out to you the most. Which student videos seem to make the most sense to you? With whom do you agree? Disagree? What patterns do you find among the student sound bites? Which ideas were the most instructive or helpful to you? What surprised you? How have your own ideas about introductions and conclusions come into focus through the videos?

Throughout Becoming a College Writer, you are encouraged to Revise Repeatedly from Feedback, which is one way of learning from the moves other writers make. Another, however, is to remember that – as Nicole points out – a teacher doesn’t have to be someone at the head of the class. You can learn important lessons from your friends and peers – and they can learn a lot from you as well!
