As a group activity, we were tasked to comment on another group's sentence outline of their assigned topic. My group, group 3, was to comment to the work of group 2. On the other hand, group 4 will give critics on our outline.
Group 3 came up with an "impromptu" outline. Just another way of confessing of being cramming (LoL). Honestly, that was not a well-thought-of assignment. Yet we were able to finish our outline when our turn came. Ma'am asked us to post it on the board. And one funny thing about it was that Teacher Lynnie asked "what do you call that reading that must be read from left to right?" Oops, our outline started from the left portion of the manila paper.
Every time there's a "criticizing" activity, there's always that negative notion telling "it's a bit harsh to comment on someone's work well in fact you have your own mistakes. Maybe, he' just afraid that the owner will be mad at him for giving bad comments (Please don't be...).
However, for my part, giving critics has a positive approach. It's one way to improve my work by letting other people correct my errors. Sometimes, there are things that you haven't noticed yet the people around you know about it all the way. That is why it's always good to ask for others opinions. In that way, I can be assured of my own lapses.
it's just okay to be a critic in a positive way... As long as you don't discourage the person, instead you are helping him or her, giving your views could count its worth.
