Reflection Writing
Reflection Writing
The purpose of reflection writing is, obviously, to reflect. For this writing, I want to see that you actually thought about who you were as a writer before the assignment and who you are now that the assignment is done. If you struggled, let me know. If you thought it was too easy, let me know. Just be thoughtful and truthful.
