Wednesday is the last day of class

Research papers are due on Wednesday.  Please attach first draft BEHIND the final draft.  You know the schtick.

Here's Monday's handout:

FINAL SELF REFLECTIVE ESSAY (last day of class 100 pts)  I will bring blue books

Length

In order to receive the full points, the essay should be a minimum of 3 pages in length.  However there is no maximum length.  It can be as long as you need to complete the task.

Overview

--You should reflect upon your progress as a writer throughout the semester.

--Identify your goals for your future improvement as a writer at the end of the essay.

--Reflect back on various assignments you have completed for this course and the concepts we covered through the class.  What did you learn as a result of doing these assignments or by applying these concepts to your own writing?

--You may want to reflect on what you learned completing the following assignments:

--A rhetorical analysis of “Diagnosing and Treating the Ophelia Syndrome.”

--The synthesis paper on Immigration Reform

--The research paper

--How true is the statement that the first step to writing is reading?

--What habits do you wish to practice in the next academic writing class?

Your self-reflective essay should be organized around a theme and should be written in paragraph form.  Do not organize your essay around this bulleted list.  These are suggestions.  Remember to think of audience and tone. You should explain assignments clearly as if you are writing to a general audience not JUST THE TEACHER.

NOTE:  This is a self-evaluation of your writing and not an evaluation of the teacher or the class.  Focus on your own writing experience and growth.
