Blog 16: 2-Hour Meeting Answer #2

1.  What is your essential question?

How can a writing group best be facilitated to help writers develop their craft?

2.  What is your second answer to your essential question (write your second answer in a complete sentence)?

Mandating deadlines is essential to developing proper writing habits. (I couldn't think of another way to phrase it.)

3.  What are three details to support or justify your second answer (details are examples or facts)?

Meeting deadlines:

• help a writer develop responsibility for his or her piece
• allows the writer to keep a goal in mind throughout their project
• establish enough pressure that a writer will feel compelled to complete whatever it is they are currently working on
• often when meeting a deadline, it give a writer a sense of accomplishment

4.  What source helped you prove this answer is justified for your essential question?

I didn't have a resource because I was speaking more out of experience than anything. However, upon research, I found this, which essentially states the same thing.

5.  What do you plan to study next with your second answer and why?  (You would say "I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by doing ____________"?)

I will continue studying my answer 2 by further researching the importance and effectiveness of deadlines, see what professionals have to say about it, etc.
