This is helpful for Diane, Andrea, and I. I think we have a strong collaborative group. We have known eachother's working abilities -- and we all have different views on certain things. I believe that we will be able to write collaboratively. Well, not so much "write" as to develope -- I believe we are sticking to the documentary idea?? Collaboration needs to happen in class on Monday!
After reading Collaborative Writing by Fontaine and Hunter, I began to think about how I could use this advice while doing our collaborative project. I believed Chapter 3 to be the best way to describe the differences between collaboration & cooperation. To sum it all up, the cooperation happens when a topic is given and each student in the group divides the work evenly between members. They then go on their own and only write their part, then combine the pieces together in the end. They, as individuals, do not know what the whole piece consists of -- they only know their part. Collaboration happens when the topic is discussed in depth between members, they bounce ideas off of one another so that when they are writing their own pieces, they have the voices of other members in their minds. They write in a group voice-- rather than an individual one.
