Using Group Journals to Improve Writing and Comprehension.
Bolling, Anna L.
Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v5 n1 p47-55 1994
This article describes how collaboration affects the writing process and reports on an experiment involving the use of group and individual journals concurrently in an upper-division college writing course for prospective teachers. It was found that group journals engendered more careful attention to writing performance and greater comprehension of course content than individual journals. (MDM)
