We started class by going through the assignment sheet for the reflective writing on the portfolio. The assignment sheet has 3 parts.
1. The front of the assignment sheet provides an overview of the task, what students should "do" and "not do" as the write there essay.
2. On the back side of the assignment sheet, the description of the essay's objectives is followed by three brainstorming questions. These questions are designed to get you thinking - in detail - about what has changed about your writing (and why) as a result of your participation in ENG 1031-1032.
3. Finally, at the bottom of the page on the back, the assignment sheet briefly describes a process for writing your essay.
After talking through the assignment sheet, we kind of rambled off into a free from discussion of social injustice - with occaisional one-on-one conferences for individuals who were trying to work on their essay. What a great discussion! If anyone has additional questions about how to move forward with the essay - send me an email.
For next class
Write: Draft reflective essay
We will spend most of class setting up a set of criteria for the reflective essay, and workshopping drafts submitted by student volunteers. This workshop will serve to provide some more concrete models for organizing and developing your essays, as well as to provide specific feedback to students who provide drafts for review.
Grades for Unit on Analysis
I will be grading the analysis units over the weekend, and hope to have all work returned by class on Dec. 9. The list of what to include for the analysis unit is posted here.
Have a great weekend, and see you Tuesday.
