Our first writing workshop was on Tuesday and I believe it went very well. We we're able to get through everyone's thoughts on the story, " Harper's night out", with plenty of time left over and no issues.
In the end we had enough time left over that I would have liked to have the story's writer ask some questions to us as readers, things they felt were unanswered or anything could have elaborated more on. I think I could have improved my verbal critique a bit by slowing down, I rushed through my critique and felt liked i might have missed something . Remembering to bring the story also would have helped me out, to search for examples and actually reference the text.
Other than those small issues I think the first workshop went very smoothly and I look forward to more.
I know what you mean by trying to remember to bring your copy of the story when you come to class. I have made it a habit of bringing my computer with me every time I come to class just so i have a copy of the story in front of me.
