Draft 4.0


English 101: Introduction to College WritingSpring 2013
Draft 4.0: writing a first draft of your reflective essay

1.     Look over previous homework assignments in which you did reflective writing. This includes the blog posts titled [Group work] Reflection, Assignment 9, Assignment 8, and Reflecting on Revision.

2.     Based on your experiences in class, the above homework assignments, drafts of your essays, and conferencing with your peers and me, write a first draft of your reflective essay. Keep in mind that your reflective essay has certain course goals and outcomes that it must meet, but it also needs to explain your own writerly choices in a personal way. Sometimes it helps to write with a theme in mind (but make sure to avoid commonplace.)

3.     Consider the course goals and outcomes:
With the REFLECTIVE ESSAY, a writer will, in addition to the above goals and outcomes, account for and evaluate the choices made in the interpretive essays by…
·      considering the writer’s own composing and design strategies developed through successive revisions given the writer’s rhetorical situation.
·      Describing how the writing works to build productive, ethical relationships with other people and their ideas and writing.

4.     As you write, use evidence (specific moments or quotes) from your own essays or other students’ essays to support your reflection.

5.     Bring one copy of this essay to our next class meeting.
