While thinking of similar processes to the recursive writing process, one learning experience stood out more than the rest. In high school, instead of taking a gym class or art class I took dance class. Mostly everyone took it at least once in high school, it was definitely one of the most popular classes. I always hated it but I took it almost every year. In the class, we would form small groups and individually have to learn or make up dances for the production at the end of the semester.

When learning these dances the teacher, Mrs. Veazie, had us work (mostly) independently to develop these dances however we wanted to. When learning these dances, they would usually start off pretty bad. Looking back and practicing these dances, we had to change parts, moving them around or deleting/adding them completely. This process highly resembles the recursive writing process, honestly being almost exactly the same, with dancing instead of writing. This process ultimately led to the dances being so much better developed, and look good in the end. Without this sort of “recursive” process where you go back and edit, it would be much harder to get a final product with the same success.
