What I have taken away from “What’s That Supposed to Mean? Using Feedback on Your Writing” by Jillian Grauman is that multiple factors go into feedback. Usually, I would read the feedback and keep it in my mind. Or I’ll give feedback without thinking about how the person will be able to utilize what I gave them. Understanding feedback is crucial to strengthening your writing by seeing what needs help and not being seen as something to discourage you. This leads to Emotional responses because something in the feedback can trigger our emotions, but we have to go back to the mindset of it being given to us through good intentions. We could easily get blinded when running off of emotions. It clouds judgment.
Regarding our literacy narrative paper, I used the peer review feedback while writing. The paper wasn’t done when the input was given, but it was nice to see what could be added, and I did what I could to make it even better. I also have feedback from when I took the previous class. The collaborative feed is so helpful that I get to see my work from a different perspective. The slightest idea can sprout something in our minds to give us more to think about. Building off one another greatly benefits us; we can see our world as the perfect example. The evolution and what the greatest minds are coming together can create things.
In conclusion, Having the growth mindset to adjust yourself to apply the feedback and develop your skills is all you need. What you want to achieve can be a reality with passion and the drive to be better than your old self.
