No class today 4/25 and here is the assignment

Reflection

The reflection will give you the opportunity to look back at your work in this class and evaluate your progress toward strengthening your writing skills.

Step 1: Select 3-5 assignments that you feel were especially helpful in developing your writing skills. Examples: one of your Conversation posts, argumentative essay, peer review, etc.

Step 2: Describe each of those assignments by answering the following questions:

– What did you have to do and how did you complete this assignment?

– Did you face any challenges?

– What did you learn from this assignment?

– How can you apply what you have learned to your life outside of this class?

This is an informal essay, not just a list. Since this is not a course evaluation (there is another opportunity for that) you should not discuss me or the class. You are the subject of this essay; your goal is to demonstrate your growth and achievements in this class. Be specific, provide examples—this is your evidence here.

The reflection is worth 2% of your final grade. Please submit it on Blackboard by Thursday, 4/27.

Ideally, you would time yourself – say, 30-45 minutes – and submit your draft without revising it, to mimic what we would have done in class today. You can refer to your work on the OpenLab, copy bits and pieces of your written work, and consult the course schedule to refresh your memory on class assignments. The key thing is to use your own words and reflect on your work from the semester. There is no length requirement: think how much you would write in under 1 hour.
