Thoughts on the week 6 video

It was interesting for me to see the first woman who spoke how she felt uncomfortable criticizing how the government prepared food service because in her country she would have been punished for speaking against the government, for me that is so unthinkable because of the freedom we are given in the United States.

I enjoyed learning about how to accomodate these students, some ideas included giving take home writing projects so that they will be able to show the full potential of their efforts. Also they mentioned to avoid marking the entire paper that you return to a student and to sit down and individually discuss how they would prefer to be corrected.

Although I saw a lot of interesting points in this video, I don’t quite understand how this video is not contradicting everything that we have learned because it stated that this is how one group works and this is how another group of people write like. I feel that I make a point of making my writing different from others especially for creative writing purposes that this video does not necessarily apply to everyone.
