Response to Surviving the Critique

I believe a formal critique where we all sit down in a circle and talk about each others work would be ineffective. We are all friends and in the private high school environment, people would be reluctant to be too critical of a classmate's work. According to this chapter and your past experiences, how can you get the most out of a critique of your own work? I think the most effective way to do a critique in our class environment would be to have people go around to each person's "station", take time to really reflect on how each person is conducting their work, then go back to their own individual station and anonymously write suggestions to future work and how you think they're doing so far. This would ensure everybody is participating in a productive way to the critique.
