  1. English

  • In Unit II, we discussed that there is a process to writing but that there is no one, specific, start-to-finish process. Instead, the process is cyclical. Additionally, you learned that it is important to understand yourself as a writer and that you have your own process. In Unit III, you wrote your first paper for this class and should now have a better idea of your own writing process.


Please respond to this prompt by reflecting upon your own writing process. You may

choose to use the guiding questions/prompts below to begin your reflection; however,

you do not have to address all the questions. The objective of this reflection is to

become better acquainted with the process that you go through when writing. Your

journal entry must be at least 200 words in length.


  1. What was your process of writing the Unit III Compare/Contrast Essay? For example, did you use any pre-writing activities like free writing, bubble mapping, or outlining? Did you brainstorm? Did you write the essay all in one session, or did you break it up into multiple writing sessions?

  2. What are your feelings about writing? Have you always had these feelings? Did anything surprise you about writing the Unit III paper?

  3. Do you always follow the same process every time you write, or does your process seem to change depending upon what you are writing?

  4. What was your process for writing this reflection? How did this process differ from your process of writing the paper?

  5. Will you alter or develop your writing process going forward?


Remember that this is a piece of reflective writing, and while we tend to consider

reflective writing to be about "how far we have come," it is not necessary for that to be t

the case. Looking in the mirror at our reflection is not an act about the passage of time

or about growth; it is about being able to see ourselves where we could not before.

Remember to be kind to yourself. You are a beginning writer, and this is an exercise

about discovering who you are as a writer so that we can work together to build who you

will be.
