| CONCLUSION |
| I conclude, to date, in any case, that students prefer such public writing. They enjoy seeing what the peers are writing and how they answer grammatical questions. The students who have responded to my queries do not mind, at all, seeing their own work displayed, analyzed, critiqued or praised. |
