In this review, I added to yesterday's discussion in that I presented the questions as inner voices that people should listen and respond to while writing. Some people are motivated by an inner voice that challenges them and some people are motivated by an inner voice that is always eager to hear more about what they have to say. This is reflected in the slides below.

Also, make sure you ever only use the challenging voice as motivation.
The challenging voice shouldn't tear you down, it should just poke you into action.
If the challenging voice gets to feeling bothersome, switch to the interested voice.

The interested voice is a great one.
When responding to it, use as much detail as possible.
Switching between the voices can be helpful.
Sometimes, people motivate themselves with a voice that challenges them and spurs them into action. Then, they continue on with the interested voice that supports and listens to the argument.
Everyone had the rest of the period to work on developing their initial draft of the first part of this paper. I was on hand to work individually with people during this process.
Writing advice for the day: Remember that this isn't a biography of the person you are researching. You're learning about them and then identifying what is important or meaningful about their experience that people should learn from. While writing, ask yourself, "What do we have to learn from this person's success?" and write about the answer to that question.
