Intro:
Does workshops and tutoring help us develop new criteria in our ideas for better writing? Why other people ideas are so important on our work? The answer for this questions is a single word called FEEDBACK. We get feedback by sharing our ideas with experienced people that help us in our writing process. Writing is an endless process and improvement is a constant change in it. My theory wants to demonstrate that the idea for students to have workshops, tutoring is in order to get feedback that will take you to a writing improvement. I think that sometimes students don't want to have feedback for many reasons but it's important that they know the high level of importance in writing. Writing deserves a high level of interest in order to catch the attention of readers and to make clear what you mean in your article. Feedback allows students the opportunity to grow as writers and to blow away their own ideas to the fullest.
Literature Review:
I’ve choose three articles that I think they are helpful on the development of my theory. Lets start with Nancy Sommers, she tells us that peer response and tutoring is a method use to keep writing in constant changing. Review is a key word in what Nancy Sommers want to tell us because this word represent everything, this help us change the students idea for better.
In the other side Richard Behm describe in his article a better way to make workshops perfect for each case. He also tell us that there is nothing better as workshop to get feedback in writing and that it depends on certain steps to make it better. Steps like choosing a topic and the angle of what the workshop would be about so that students can go through the main idea and have less confusion. Sharing ideas is a method he described as a transformation of writing.
Finally, I choose Moll and Gonzalez because I like their idea of funds of knowledge because this is the principal cause of our things and actions in the present. It’s interesting how they tell us that our funds of knowledge is our principal source of learning and that they are connected with writing of course. If teachers are prepared for teaching, workshops would be even better for students. For each student we have a different case and that’s why the teacher has to be prepared in every topic to help them in his way to writing succeed.
Connection Piece:
These three articles are a brilliant tool in the demonstration of my theory. One talks about how we need to make workshops and tutoring, the other one talk about funds of knowledge and the last one about tutoring. These three articles are connected by me because I want to demonstrate that by having tutoring you will become a better writer. So we start with funds of knowledge, in order to prepared for giving a tutoring session the teachers must be prepared with the student case or familiar on what are they going to talk (experience). Then there are certain steps you have to make in order to give a tutoring session in the best way possible. After that Nancy Sommers is connected with both because her theory about making tutoring, having revisions by experienced readers take the students to a better workplace. By making this connections we can notice that these articles are related in the way I previously described and that my theory get stronger with this ideas from this great authors. So lets start by asking students how they think about tutoring, revisions, so that this theory can start having some results that will help define each situation .
