In between drafts, I often invited my students to reflect on the writing they produced to intentionally let them self-access to intentionally let them self-access their writing growth over time during different stages in the semester. However, such reflections were often descriptive, where I would guide students\u2019 thinking via response questions. This activity sheet does the same thing at the core but provides my students a visual interpretation of what they have changed in their writing between drafts by offering them a tool and process for analyzing their writing. I firmly believe a similar version of this activity could extend to writing center consultations. When a tutee comes in for the consultation seeking essay organizational-related mentorship, for example, I always request them to make a copy of the writing that they would use for the writing consultancy. I do so because usually, the tutee makes changes in their writing during the consultation. Then, after I help them, I could provide this activity sheet (Appendix). Performing the activity&#8217;s steps, the writer would be able to assess the visual of the changes they made in the drafts before and after writing consultation for future reference using Microsoft Word&#8217;s &#8216;compare feature.&#8217; Facilitating this activity sheet further iterates the writing center&#8217;s core mission as a university resource: helping writers of various fluency levels to (formatively) develop their writing skills. Such activity provides agency to tutee\/writer to take and retain the ownership of their own writing during and post writing consultation in collaboration with tutors. I would like to remind readers that this activity works in the classroom too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saurabh Anand Assignments &amp; Activities Archive Activity Description This activity sheet\u2019s idea and its relevance in the writing center consultation mushroomed from my English composition teaching days to my (multilingual) students.
