[Critique Group 1] revised suggestion

[Tuchyner5 at aol.com]

Since I wrote and responded to Kate’s questions, I did a  little 
experimenting.  I wanted to  see how long it would take me to deliver a critique. When 
I simply allowed the  computer to read my notes, I could just about get 
under the time allotment, but  when I listened to my notes and paraphrased from 
them, it took way too  long.  So that leads me to 2  conclusions.  
One is that we should run through our presentations to  see just how long 
they are going to take and try to pare them down, shooting for  4 minutes.  
The second conclusion is that sending one’s notes is not  as redundant as I 
thought. I think they may be much more complete than the  verbal 
presentation. So I highly recommend that everyone send their written  critiques to the 
authors.  You can  either send them to their individual addresses or to all 
the members of your  group.  We can learn from each other  how to do a 
critique and thereby how to write better via the critical eyes of  our fellow 
writers.
