There will be no in-class synchronous final. Instead, you will be required to create a reflection-based essay, which will act as an endnote to all your major work for the semester. This reflection will be your final assignment: the theory of writing.Reflection allows us the opportunity to process knowledge and then apply that knowledge. Through reflection, we can come to an understanding and interpret what we have learned. This semester, on several occasions, we have used reflection in this way; in your final assignment you will return to this definition of reflection.You have also been developing your theory of writing, i.e. what writing means to you, and how you use specific elements as you write through your own composition. As a result, you have had the opportunity to create a knowledge base of writing and its practices. For your final, you will be exploring your personal relationship to writing by discussing several questions, including (but not limited to): defining your theory of writing.

• What was your “theory of writing” coming into this class? How has your writing evolved with each piece of composing?
• Think about the assignments and readings for both FIQWS courses. What has contributed to your theory of writing most?
• We discussed how attitudes towards linguistic standards and differences empower and oppress language users. Describe, using examples of class exercises, readings, and assignments, how your attitudes towards “standardized English” and other vernaculars have changed.
• Finally, how might your theory of writing be applied to other writing situations both inside and outside the classroom?

For each of these questions, you will need to support your ideas with your previous writing in this course and, through these examples, interpret what you have learned. You will create a compelling argument for whatever you decide to write for this, supported by evidence and analysis of the work completed in class this semester. You've spent plenty of time quoting other sources. This time, quote yourself!You are encouraged to enhance your argument through an application of key rhetorical terms–rhetorical situation, audience, author, tone, purpose, genre, medium, stance, and language–and exploring how it informs your practice of writing. We have also engaged in several writing strategies–brainstorming, peer review, and revision. As a result of your work with these rhetorical concepts and writing strategies, you have had the opportunity to create a knowledge base of writing and its practices.Choose a genre to work in–letter, email, essay, journal entry, or any genre you want that is approved by your instructors–that you feel best represents your goals for your reflection.This final reflection is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your increased knowledge in writing–the practices of writing, the key terms, and any specific skills you’ve acquired. Think of this piece as another move in the evolution of your theory of writing, and as a chance for you to fully explore yourself as a writer and maker of knowledge.
