"Responding to Student Writing" Summary and Analysis

    Responding to students is what the teachers spend most  of their time doing. The reason why this happens is because it is best for the writer to have someone that can  give them opinions towards their writing. Although the student might be distracted by their teacher response and might not elaborate what they had their focus in. Some confusion might also arise by the comments that teachers make. If students were to only focus on what they have to fix instead of trying to make more of what they think the teacher wants. Students are confused by thee comments that they received because they are told to expand a paragraph more that throws them off to what their point really was. The way that the teachers make the comments the wording and everything is what confuses them. It is a risk for the student to go beyond to what they do think should change but they might just be better off to what their teacher tells them to do. A better way of response is what should be developed that students would not be confused and will still write their thoughts and ideas. Some teachers do make it clear that the student has done a good job in that the student is more comfortable in writing what they want instead of writing what they think their teacher wants.
