Goals

• Collaborate with classmates in planning, researching, writing, revising, and presenting information. [CLO 5]
• Analyze your draft and find ways to improve your project using strategies related to technical writing [CLO 1–7]

The Task

What I Want You to Do

Post all or a portion of the first version you created of your Instructions, and ask for specific feedback from your group members. You will also read and respond to the work of the other students in your group. You must post your work early enough in the week to give others time to respond.

Why I Want You to Do It

The goal of these weekly feedback discussions is learn how to give and take advice that will improve your writing. See the Feedback Discussions Instructions for more information.

How You Do It

1. Choose something specific in or about your Instructions Draft that you need help with or want advice on. Here are some example scenarios:
   • You want to know if someone else can follow the steps you outline in your instructions.
   • You wonder if the images you plan to include demonstrate what is to be done.
   • You need help deciding on the best medium to use or how to use it.
2. Write a post that explains the kind of feedback that you want and asks your group members for specific help, and include whatever work you have created that is relevant (for instance, the video footage you shot).
3. Read over your post to make sure it’s clear, and make any changes you need to make sure your group understands your message.
4. Post your reply.
5. While you wait for responses from your group, read the posts that others have posted and respond to the questions of at least two people. Ideally, respond to all group members.
6. Once you receive feedback, take the feedback from your group into account as you revise your work for submission next week.
