Getting Started

The following questions should help guide you as you write your letter. You are, however, not limited to these questions, nor should you feel compelled to write your letter in the order the questions are presented. They are meant to help you identify the kinds of information you should be including in your letter.

• • What was your writing and process like at the beginning of the term? Be specific.
  • What is your writing process like now? Explain thoroughly.
  • In what specific ways has your writing improved? Give examples.
  • What do you know about writing and the university level that you didn’t before?
  • How do you plan to approach the writing process as you move forward as a member of the broader university community and the discourse community within your major?
  • What advice would you give friends or classmates to help them understand and develop their writing processes?
  • What examples from my Projects 1, 2, and 3 can I include to illustrate the points I make about my writing and writing process?
