Writers must collect the responses to the reading from group members, and faithfully represent those in a one and a half-page document that includes an overall summary of the group’s reactions, and follow that up with specific quotes/examples/questions.Writers must try to make the different responses cohere, perhaps by identifying a pattern in the responses or by linking them together in some way (e.g. “my group’s responses can be summed up as thinking Jones was too hard on contemporary working-class men or thinking Jones was not hard enough.”).In cases when there are some outlier responses that can’t be merged or juxtaposed with the others, writers can just add them at the end, as in “Finally, xxx thought Jones represented a modernist theoretical approach.”Writers can edit group members’ contributions for clarity and style, but they can also include direct quotes if warranted.
