To address these issues, I developed an interactive approach called \u201cRead, Feed, and Seed\u201d (RFS), aimed at fostering \u201ccollaborative learning in writing\u201d (Hunzer 1) while reinforcing research writing skills. The activity begins with the \u201cread\u201d phase where students actively annotate the introduction of a course reading, highlighting significant points. They then compare annotations within small groups to recognize diverse perspectives. After they have grasped the intent of the reading, the group members are assigned exclusive sections of the remaining text, which they skim through, preparing points for group discussion.<br>The \u201cfeed\u201d phase of this activity is a simple session in which all group members share insights from their respective sections, which cultivates a supportive environment for diverse learning capacities. Groups then use this comprehensive understanding of the text to craft a research-style response to a question I give options for. To bolster their arguments, they \u201cseed\u201d evidence from the text while using a source integration technique. Meanwhile, a group member is tasked with ensuring that the in-text citations strictly follow APA guidelines and creating a reference-list entry for the reading. At the end, I provide feedback on the quality of responses, source integration, and APA compliance. These one-hour RFS sessions not only encourage \u201cco-construction of knowledge\u201d (Dobao 55) but also reinforce most students\u2019 research writing skills, as evidenced by the quality of their subsequent essays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mustafa Masihuddin Siddiqui Assignments &amp;
