When participating in a writing workshop, you should be ready to do several tasks, including:
-
Read your own poem aloud, and then listen quietly to the other writers’ feedback. - This is a fundamental part of workshops, as sharing your work allows for constructive criticism and feedback which is vital for growth as a writer.
-
Explain why you made the choices you did when writing your own poem. - This helps others understand your perspective and intent, and can enhance the feedback you receive.
-
Select one idea for improving the poem that you will share with the writer. - This encourages thoughtful engagement with peers' work and fosters a collaborative atmosphere.
While suggesting ways to build a multimedia presentation based on a peer’s poem can be relevant, it may not necessarily be a primary task in every writing workshop. The primary focus is typically on the text and feedback itself.
