Writing Reflection

Paragraph #1: What was the assignment for which you wrote this paper?  Trace the evolution of this project. When did you decide on this topic? What topics did you reject in favor of this one? How did your topic evolve from what you knew at first to what you know now? (Other comments relevant to topic evolution)
Paragraph #2: Describe the process you used to write the project. Do you think the process that you used was effective? Why or why not? Include the specific revisions you've made to the project. What revision suggestions did you get? from whom? Which did you choose to use? Why? Which did you reject? Why? Where in the project did you make these changes? What effects do these choices have on your project/your readers? Why?
Paragraph #3:  What aspects of your writing in the project are effective and why do you think they are effective? Please be specific: For example, rather than saying “I used good examples,” identify one or two examples that you used and explain why these examples are good ones.
Paragraph #4:  What do you think could be improved in your written project and how could it be improved? Again, please be specific.
Paragraph #5:  What do you think could be improved in your written project and how could it be improved? Again, please be specific.
Paragraph #6: Purpose/Audience/Publication. Explain in one sentence what the purpose of your project is: are you trying to argue something? persuade a reader about something? tell as story to illustrate a point about the world? explore pertinent issues? etc . . . Then, tell me who your primary audience is (those you most want to write to) and why you chose them. Be sure to include what sort of publication site your piece would be appropriate for (or toward which you're working even if you're not really ready yet for that space...letter to the editor, petition, fundraising or awareness campaign, etc.).
