"Too often...comments aren't written with a clear lesson in mind, or even a clear sense of how a student might use these comments"(Sommers, 2013). It is suggested that students are sometimes overwhelmed by the amount of teacher comments on their papers, and sometimes do not know how to use the feedback given to them. My main focus in this research is to focus on what students want and how they use teacher comments on their writing assignments. There will be a distinct focus on how students use what they are given in the comments on their assignments and how they apply what they gain from the comments to future papers and writing assignments. For this research, I will be viewing it somewhat similarly to how Sommers views her research as a teacher, as well as viewing it from the point of view of a student.
This is the best I could do in terms of utilizing the three movements as described by Swales. This is most likely not going to end up being in the final draft, as I'm not entirely confident that this is a good introduction.
