Sampling as a Substitute for Composition


There are many different kinds of sampling that can be used in essays or presentations. One way to sample is to do a collaborative essay, this means that a group of people work together to make one essay, this can be difficult because you have to combine all of the groups ideas and all of the members different voices, you need to make sure everyone does the same amount of work but when you are writing one paper this can be tricky. My english group and I wrote an essay that is about men in advertising, the way we organized it was we assigned different parts of the essay to different people, then once we all had our paragraph done we had one person put them together in order and see how it sounds. Some parts were needed taken out to make the paragraphs flow together, and we needed to change wording so that it was all 3ed person and the voices were blended. I think this way of writing an essay was harder then I thought it would be but at the same time it was nice because we got to combined out ideas and make the best essay possible.

  1. I wrote about writing the group essay, too. :]

    It is hard to combine 5 different parts of an essay. But I think we're doing good with having each person read it and adding in their own comments and corections.

    But it's still hard.

    I said the same exact stuff except I also included that the scary part of this project was wondering if everyone was goingt o do their assigned part ya know and if ONE personw as to drop then the whole group and the whole paper would be screwed hard core! Thank goodness we all stood to our parts in our group!
