You will write a 500-600 word reflective essay that follows full MLA-style formatting guidelines. To begin this essay, do some initial brainstorming. The following generative questions and activities are a good place to start:
What was your writing (and your perception of writing) like when you first began the semester?
How has your writing (and your perception of writing) changed?
Look over your previous assignments; what growth or development do you see?
- What assignments have been the most challenging? Why? Which were the most rewarding or engaging? Why?
- PLEASE DO NOT WRITE A 5-PARAGRAPH ESSAY. Instead, here are some organizational strategies you can use to develop this essay:
- Use a standard academic structure that begins with an introduction, includes several body paragraphs, and ends with a conclusion.
- Use an open-form narrative structure that builds chronologically from start to finish. Tell the story of your writing growth so far this semester.
Compose a set of vignettes–3 or more brief episodes or themes that work independently as well as together. These vignettes could explain or narrate the 3 (or 4) most memorable/challenging, successful/etc. moments so far this semester.
