Writing Decisions – Reflection Activity

Select at least 3 of your completed journal entries, discussion posts, and assignments from this course to use for this assignment.  

 

Read the samples you selected and write notes to answer the following questions:

  • What do you like about your work?

  • What doesn't seem quite right?

  • What feedback did your instructor provide?

  • If you used any spelling or grammar tools or received feedback from others, what did that feedback indicate?

Consider using the following strategies as you reflect on your writing:

  • Re-read your writing out of order. For instance, read the end or the middle of the passage before the beginning. Reading it this way disrupts the order and allows the errors to stand out.   

  • Cut and paste the excerpt into another document or enlarge the text. This type of strategy allows you to see the writing differently and see any patterns. 

  • Read the example aloud to yourself or use software to read it to you.  

  • Spell-check your work using Microsoft® Word or another grammar tool, such as Grammarly®. Have a trusted friend, peer, or family member review your work and discuss what to change. Using outside resources can provide a valuable perspective when you revise and edit your work.


Now that you’ve completed your review, provide a 100- to 175-word response to each of the following 10 reflective prompts. Review your completed responses for correct spelling, grammar, and clarity.
