BLOG # 4

As the student, I asked a lot of questions. The same can even be said when I was the tutor. We both talked a fair amount. It seemed to be me doing 60% of the talking, while my group mate did 40%. She answered my questions thoroughly, with confidence, and ensured that I would be able to back up the point I would focus on in my response. I was very focused on the assignment sheet, to make sure we would follow the format exactly. She was very solid in what she wanted to write about, while I struggled to find the focus of my response (though I felt good about summarizing Lunsford's writing). Our different interpretations of the assignment were easily handled by referring to the syllabus and the assignment sheet. Although my philosophy is that all 3 models of writing centers should be used, we seemed to use the Storehouse model the most, with a little of the Garret house model.
