Our third group meeting brought us outside where we were able to enjoy the wonderful afternoon sun. While sitting on the benches outside the theater, we first read the summary and sayback exercises. After reading, we made sure that everyone had a clear understanding of each method. This led to a discussion on how these methods would be helpful for the revision process and led us to see both the similarities and differences between the two. While the summary method allows the writer to hear the reader's interpretation of their piece's main message, we ultimately thought sayback was more useful. There is a more evident conversation between the reader and the writer through sayback, allowing the reader to help the writer think of new words and thoughts for their piece. As all of us have experienced before, there are some ideas that the writer is trying to get down that may not be clear to the reader. We were able to use the sayback method to describe what the goals and strategies for our pieces were and the ways that we could make them more effective for the reader. Overall, we all enjoyed working with the two methods while sitting outside. We also concluded that each of us would read our individual topics instead of a group read.

Excellent post, Aaron. Comprehensive, clear, complete. I'm glad to know that the group really worked with the protocols and had the opportunity to discuss the most relevant applications of them.
In terms of the group read, something may emerge down the road... Especially the more of you work I read and after I catch up with you again, I may notice common threads in your work and can recommend a short reading you will all find applicable. We'll see!
