collaborative learning

Writing is a way for one to express themselves. It is a way to express their inner thoughts and feelings and share them with the reader. Writing allows the reader to form a bond with the writer.When collaborative learning is put into effect, it can be very helpful. When one works in a group setting, it allows for suggestions. The other people that are reading your writing can give their input or opinions and help to improve your writing skills.

Collaborative writing involving one's peers is the best form of revision there is. Indeed it is helpful and overall sometimes the best guidance as to how to begin correcting your paper, when you are working with your peers it allows input from someone your own age. You may think that everyone understands where you are coming from when you write and not even think twice about writing something that only you have experienced. When a peer is revising it, he/she can let you know that you need to elaborate more on your story.

Collaborative writing should also be organized in some way. The professor should put students in a group according to their differences. If a group of students have a lot in common then it will not allow for various views on the topic. The diverse group of students will be able to share many ideas and help each other out greatly. This could bring many suggestions to each student's paper and then in the end the professor can do the final revision. Collaborative writing is more than just a revision process, it is a social interaction that brings a group of students together in the celebration of writing.
