Assignment Task: Write the self reflection letter for the writing this semester, filling at least-FOUR pages (or at least one thousand words). The letter must address at least FIVE Course Outcomes that mastered using the own writing as evidence, and explain how the selections demonstrate your learning and growth. This letter should explain WHY you chose to include the following pieces of writing, and reference them when necessary.
Course Outcome:

2. Revision & Writing Process: Students produce multiple drafts. Student writing demonstrates careful revision in response to commentary from peers (when relevant) and the instructor.
3. Argument & Analysis: Students write persuasively and analytically. Student writing contains convincing arguments and is supported with evidence.
5. Research: Student writing evidences understandings of citation and website validity.
6. Technology & Multimodality: Students function in electronic writing spaces, and use technology to compose, revise, and present their writing.
Reflection required:
1) Writing Habits (required)
You must reflect on your writing habits. Where do you do the best work? What tools are helpful when writing? What time of day or under what conditions (at home, in the library, at a cafe, etc) do you write best? Analyze what you think these preferences say about you as a writer and a learner.
2) Writing Strategies
Identify writing strategies and practices you've learned in this course that work well for you and that you will continue to use in your future writing. Illustrate with samples from your semester's writing.
3) Feedback
What advice did you receive (from peer review, tutoring, workshop, instructor feedback) that was particularly helpful when revising your work? Illustrate using at least two examples from past assignments, including the comments. How can you apply that advice to future writing?
4) Revision
Analyze how you revised a specific paragraph. Include the paragraph in the paper. Describe the choices you made and why.
