Task:
The course began with an examination of core values, their origins, and the role that they play in our society and in our professional and personal lives. For this assignment, you will:
- Revise your initial core values essay. Your revisions should take into account:
- The feedback provided by your instructor on your Core Values Essay, Part 1
- The writing skills covered throughout the weekly course content of WRTG 100A
- Then, you will write a reflection where you:
- Refine your explanation of your core values
- Discuss any changes in your core values and why they have changed
- If there have been no changes in your core values, discuss why they have not changed.
- You must submit both the revised version of your core values essay and your reflection.
Due Date and Grade Percentage:
This assignment is due by the end of week 7 and is worth 10% of your final course grade.
Connection to other Course Assignments:
- This assignment provides an opportunity for you to reflect on your growth and the development of your core values over the course.

Content:
For your revision:

For your reflection:
- Give a clear thesis statement and support your thesis with about 3-5 key points.
- Be sure to include an introductory paragraph, 3-5 body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph.
- Include details and examples to help you develop and support your response to the essay prompt.
- Show that you are really thinking about the development of your core values– honestly convey how and why your core values may have changed. If your core values have not changed, honestly discuss why they have not changed, and perhaps why you may feel even more committed to these values.
- Take time to proofread after you have written your essay. Think about the kinds of writing mistakes you tend to make (like using “text-speak” or sentence fragments) and watch out for those.
