There where many themes that were displayed between Steph and her Eng 112 class. The students wrote a reflection on biographical introductions written by there peers and the responses that the students received from Steph. When commenting on Steph’s opinions many comments where there use of rhetorical information based on the backgrounds of the individuals the students where talking about. Some students understood the paper as more political then biographical and seemed to get confused when they began to write. Students commented that they seemed to only touch the surface and there could be more depth in the writing. Students understood that when editing others papers they lacked in depth enough to help the other reader in understanding there mistakes. The students all understood the mistakes they made, and realized that this commentary from Steph will help them in there future writings. By using blogging to write in Steph’s two classes, the idea of the work being anonymous allows students to write freely with out feeling critized.
To analyze these comments deeper. Steph’s connection with the students seems to be on a level as an advisor and friend. She was able to relate her feedback in a way the students were able to understand. When she spoke of a fault that one of the students made it was because she truly believed they could have dug deeper in there work. Because the feed back was given on the blog and or wiki the students where seemed to feel more free to talk back with out degrading an individual.
In my own political stance relating to these themes I tend to concur on the side with steph. I find rhetorical writing difficult but depth is a must, with out examples and details there is a lack of interest in the piece. Allocation is at it’s most necessary.
GOOD JOB STEPH AND FRESHMAN!!

“Allocation?” I am curious what meaning you are trying to convey with this word. I have to flag it – diction! – and . . . I can imagine a creative usage just as easily as an error of definition. Please explain!
