ENC 1102 Final Reflective Essay
Essay Requirements and Directions: 800-1000 word essay / reflective writing in your own words. This will be a four paragraph essay.
1. Provide an introduction which leads to your thesis, two body paragraphs and a concluding paragraph.
2. Point of View: First person voice is acceptable. Do not use second-person, “you”. If you refer to me, say Ms. Lanham or Professor Lanham.
3. In the reflective essay, you need to consider and reflect on all the writing you have done for this course: Discussion Boards and Essays
4. Look at all of your writings in this course, particularly the processes and methods you used to create, draft, and revise your essays. Analyze your learning process. Do not simply summarize your semester.
5. In this essay, you will reflect upon all of your writing techniques, learning processes, analytical skills, and citation usage.
6. This essay is your opportunity to think about, discover and describe your own writing process, the finished product, and your progress as a writer so far during the course.
7. What have you learned about yourself in this course regarding writing?
8. No citations will be required.
9. Essay heading will still be required (see syllabus).
10. Consider the following questions as you begin to think about your essay:
• What do you still need to learn about writing?
• What new approaches to writing have you discovered?
• Describe your progress through one writing assignment (name which one). What steps do you normally take? What steps will you continue to use outside of this course?
• Of course, you do not have to answer all these questions in this essay. Focus on any one or two of the questions.
***At the bottom of your writing, list your two favorite readings (specific short story, play, or poem) and two of your least favorite. You do not need to explain your choices. This section does not count in the overall word count. This portion is worth 10 points of the 100 point essay. If you include these four items, you will receive all 10 points.
