47 Rhetorical Modes: Final Reflection

You have worked hard.  You have written for a variety of audiences and contexts.  You will be reflecting on the many writing and thinking assignments you have done this semester.

Your Final Reflection should contain these sections:

• your rhetorical audience (are you reflecting to me, to yourself, to a future ENG101 student?)
• A paragraph of reflection on Course Competencies.  You might remember these from the course syllabus.
• Choose one of our major essays that you think showed the most growth for yourself as a writer.  Write a reflection paragraph about the quality of your work and your growth as a writer.  Give specific examples from the essay that you chose.
  • Evaluation
  • Position Argument
  • Literary Analysis

You can always use your SPUNKI prompts to help you reflect:

• • • • I was surprised that
      • I was puzzled by
      • It was useful to
      • It was new information to learn
      • I already knew
      • It was interesting to learn

You can do compare and contrast statements

• • • • • Before I took ENG101, I . . .
        • Now that the class is finished, I . . .
        • Before I did peer editing in our class, I thought that . . .
        • Now that I have worked with others in the peer editing process, I know that . . .

You can reflect about the writing process itself and refer to specific aspects that promoted new learning or were especially challenging.

This is your final writing project for the course.  By now you are skilled in MLA format and citations.

Thank you for your efforts throughout the writing process.  Keep writing!
