Review your work:
To help generate material for your reflection, look back through all your writing exercises, homework assignments, essays, and projects from the semester. As you browse through your materials, consider the following questions (and take some notes) to brainstorm ideas for your reflection:
- How would you compare/contrast work done early on in the semester to now? How have you developed as a writer?
- What changed in your writing (and reading and thinking) as the genres changed?
- What were your early assumptions/beliefs about yourself and writing? Have they since changed?
- What was your experience when revising assignments?
- What was particularly challenging for you in our course this semester and how did you overcome it (or attempt to)?
- What did you expect to learn in this class? What did you actually learn? How do you feel about the class and what you have learned now that the semester is over?
- What advice would you give to students taking this course next semester?
