possible conclusion to paper

One of the topics that we discussed at the beginning of the course was collaborative learning, this requires a conversation, or sharing of knowledge between people. One of the benefits of a tutoring session in a writing center is that students are able to interact with a member of the academic discourse community in a one on one session. In classrooms students sometimes feel intimidated trying to adapt to the academic community. For students that take advantage of a writing center there is definitely potential for them to grow/develop. The focus of my paper however, has been on the strategies that writing center's staff members must use to create effective atmospheres for progress to take place. I've examined what might be called inner directed theory- the tutors focus on the process which takes place during the writing sessions. The positive aspects of this theory that I would like to incoporate into every writing center is the idea that a writer, as a person, has a unique style that they will carry with them. Focusing on the process in theory would also allow the tutor to discover a time during the process where the student was getting hung up, the tutor could devise strategies to help the student move past the sticking point in their process. If we acknowledge that students as individuals have qualities which make them unique we must also acknowledge that situations during writing. Different assignments have different requirements for students. The other school of thought believed it was better for writing centers to focus on the social construction around writing.

WHERE ARE YOU: This actually is a decent start to the conclusion. I'd like to finish moving through the positive feedback for social constructivism then just rehash my model quickly. In class next time it would probably make more sense to work on a few body paragraphs though.
