Week 8 Comments and Feedback


Most of the comments I have received have been very helpful at further developing my stories. The comments I find most useful are the ones that not only provide suggestions and advice but also explain why they are suggesting/advising that particular thing. This helps to reveal the genuine nature of their comment, and it helps to gain a better perspective of how they interpreted the story. 

I feel like the comments I give, particularly on stories, are beneficial. There are many times that the stories I read are great. In these cases, I try to dive even deeper and suggest things that can open a new pathway in their story. Generally, I like the feedback strategy of providing positives, proposing questions, and then offering constructive feedback. 

Since this is an online class it is difficult to really get to know people but I do feel like I am able to connect with others by reading their introduction and through commenting. 

Looking forward, I think I can do a better job of proposing questions (through comments) to help the author view their story how their readers might. And to lead them to open new opportunities/layers in their stories. I would like to spruce up my comment wall. 

The feedback infographic I chose was What Great Listeners Actually Do. I chose this infographic because I think it has many great points about how to be an effective listener, which is important in every aspect of life. Additionally, there were many infographics I found to be useful and interesting. I chose this one because I talked about asking questions that promote discovery and insight through my comments and this infographics also details this thought process.

A women was walking home after a long with her two children, Adam and Lane.  The trek was long, treacherous, and tiresome.  Lane shouted, "Mom can we please take the shortcut!" As Natalie was already growing weary, she agreed. The shortcut was a slim, narrow passage through the deep forest. As they began down the small, narrow passage Adam began to worry. He said, “Mom, do you hear that?” Meanwhile, Lane was excited and began inching ahead of the others. At once, Lane stopped, frozen in his tracks and screamed, “BEAR!” Motherly instinct kicked in and Natalie ran to save her child. But Lane quickly realized something was not right. The bear—stricken with worry—asked for help. The bear said, “Please follow me, it’s my cub” Leaving the small, narrow passage way they followed the bear hesitantly After walking deep into the forest Natalie was concern that it was a trap. “Did the bear just want a nice, hearty meal?” “Did I make a mistake?” “Wha
