Working With My Critical Friend



In writing with room 6, we've been working with a critical friend. My critical friend today was Anthony. To me, my critical friend helps me look at my writing and helps me work on what I need work on. We use the rubric to help us out if we're stuck. My critical friend also helps us edits our work and uses comments to reach to us. They add feedback and feed forward when they edit. I get a lot fixed when I work with my critical friend.
