Reflection

The most unexpected and surprising about the process of composing Writing Project #2 compared to my process of composing Writing Project #1 was the interviews. It was unexpected because I never thought an interview conducted by me could, at this stage of my academic studies, enter one of my essays. Surprising was the content of the interviews. They are very refreshing.

The most challenging was to describe the place in study. Nothing was confusing and nothing was frustrating to compose Writing Project # 2. The assignment helped by giving clear instructions and steps to take.

The most critical, and important part, of the writing process is to put the ideas in a way they are true and sound compreensible to the reader. To the question “If you were invited to teach someone else something about writing tomorrow, what would it be and why?” I would not change a bit from what I had stated in Writing Project # 1. The difference now is that the idea is clearer to me.

The WPA Outcomes value reflection and reflective writing because they make the author think about the very own process of creating and evaluate the meaning of the text. Reflection is not a separate act from writing and is an essential part of writing.

It was unexpected because I never thought an interview conducted by me could, at this stage of my academic studies, enter one of my essays. Surprising was the content of the interviews.

The most challenging was to describe the place in case, nothing was confusing and nothing was frustrating to compose Writing Project # e. The assignment helped by giving clear instructions and steps to take.

Instructions:


Writer’s Journal #19 – Writing Project #2: Reflection

OVERVIEW
Congratulations! You have now worked through Writing Project #2. As you probably have learned from our course so far, reflecting after a long writing project can provide writers with insights about their writing, thinking, and composing practices and processes. Writers can then leverage these insights in future writing projects.

DIRECTIONS
In this Writer’s Journal, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the process of completing your second major writing project for English 101. To help you in this reflection, please respond to the following questions:

    • What did you find most unexpected or surprising about the process of composing Writing Project #2 compared to your process of composing Writing Project #1? Why do you think this was unexpected or surprising? 
    • What did you find most challenging, confusing, or frustrating about the process of composing Writing Project #2? How did the assignment itself contribute to these challenges, confusions, or frustrations?
    • Now that you have worked through two major projects, what—for you—seems to be the most critical or important part of the writing process and why?
    • After you completed Writing Project #1, you were asked the following question: “If you were invited to teach someone else something about writing tomorrow, what would it be and why?” If you were to answer that question now, would your response be the same? Why or why not?
    • Why do you think the WPA Outcomes (under “Processes”) and this course seem to value reflection and reflective writing? After all, we continue to ask you to reflect on the writing you do. Do you think reflection is a task that is separate from writing, or do you think that reflection is an essential part of writing?
Be sure to be as detailed and thorough as possible, and use examples to help explain your response. Be sure to read over your response to be sure it says what you want it to say.
