I went to the writing center earlier this week, and the writing fellow I worked with was a senior girl named Rosemary. She asked me to read my paper aloud, and after the immediate, universal shame of having to read your own work had passed, I could see the usefulness of the process. I found quite a few sentences that didn't flow correctly, or more often I would stumble across repeated words.
The writing center also gave me a feeling of confidence about my paper. When the writing fellow saw that I had written about Freud, she asked if it was a prompt. I told her that I had pulled the concept from a power point we had gone over. The entire process was extremely beneficial, and I am positive that I will visit more in the near future.
Yeah, I agree. Reading work aloud is always awkward for me.
ReplyDeleteI felt embarrassed when I read my paper out-loud too. I like how you write about something that the reader something that they can relate to: yours would be how reading it out loud is awkward.
