Reflective Essay Assignment You should consider this as an essay assignment, arguing for the theoretical moves made in your essay revisions. I consider this an extremely important piece of writing because it shows how you write now, without any feedback from me. It is important that you give it your time and attention. Be sure to discuss how what you learned this semester – for example, from reading South Side, from lectures, from peer review, including feedback you received from me and your peers – have helped you to revise your final essay. You should expect to use the reflective essay to review and assess your own writing style for strengths and weaknesses. Be transparent about your strengths and weaknesses. Your reflective essay will • Identify problematic areas and describe the specific changes made to the essay. • Examine how these changes have impacted the final, polished essay. To structure this essay, you should have an introduction that introduces yourself to the reader. Then, you will have separate paragraphs where you discuss your revised essay. You will also need a conclusion, which will generalize your strengths and what you still need to work on for the writing you will do in your future college courses. Your reflective essay should be about 4 pages long, edited carefully for grammar and mechanics. It should be a very polished, finished product.
