Reflect upon the papers you’ve written and your progress in WRIT 111 this semester. You should honestly focus on your development as a writer and what you perceive to be your strengths as well as areas that need improvement. Some topics to consider are: how you considered audience and purpose, how you’ve worked on organizing your essay and paragraphs, how you’ve improved your thesis and topic sentence development, how you’ve improved your essay development, and how you’ve improved your grammar/spelling/word choice/formatting.
In this essay you should answer most of the following questions. But you should NOT type the questions word-for- word into your essay or present a paper in a “question – answer” format. You must compose and format this assignment as you would an essay. You are to write in paragraphs and have transitions between paragraphs, and your essay should have a beginning, middle, and end. Here are the questions:

Rubric for the Final Reflective Project| Excellent or “A” quality |
| Well-embodied reflection on multiple levels. Soundly organized. May have a “voice” as well as critical reflective thoughts. Critical thoughts or actions suggest a creative element. Addresses a generally educated audience by the insightfulness of the reflective thoughts presented |
| Competent or “B” quality Developing reflection. Suggests that organization has helped to communicate ideas. Presents evidence for developing reflective thinking, possibly through minimal explanation or minimally citing evidence, but fails to reach an adequate level of complexity or elaboration for the reflective thinking points. The student writer may pander well, recite “lessons learned” well, and/or state opinions—without suggesting real points of reflective thinking. May have details that are not well-organized or that are not reflective. Generic thought. |
| Passable or “C” quality Developing reflection. Suggests that organization has helped to communicate ideas. Presents evidence for developing reflective thinking, possibly through minimal explanation or minimally citing evidence, but fails to reach an adequate level of complexity or elaboration for the reflective thinking points. The student writer may pander well, recite “lessons learned” well, and/or state opinions—without suggesting real points of reflective thinking. May have details that are not well-organized or that are not reflective. Generic thought. |
| Below Average or “C- to D” quality. Some reflection. An attempt at organization. Repetitious language or a very few points suggest reflective thinking without explaining such or citing evidence for such. May pander and/or provide the teacher with repetitious, perhaps insincere language that re-states the course’s learning outcomes and/or the teacher’s assignment’s purpose(s). |
