Weekly Response: Beach and Friedrich's "Response to Writing"

Dear Lord,
Please spare me
from any more articles
by Beach & Friedrich.
Amen.

Beach and Friedrich cite many studies about the purpose and function of responding to writing, techniques for responding, what kind of responses students prefer, teacher conference and peer conference strategies, and editing feedback. Studies are referred to briefly but not explained thoroughly, then 4 pages of works cited follow the text.
Worst. Article. Ever.
But since I should find something positive to say, per Bean's advice this week, I think the bibliography of this article could serve as a handy reference compilation of everything ever published regarding responding to student writing. Also, the conclusion was clear and concise: Teachers need to be trained to respond to student writing.
