Assignment Directions: Write a five-paragraph reflective essay, roughly 500-800 words, that 1) narrates and describes your engagement in ENGL 1020 and also 2) critically reflects on that experience. Address the following questions in your essay. Describe what you learned this semester. What assignments were your favorite or the most helpful? Which assignments were your least favorite or not as helpful? Analyze the semester. How have you grown and changed as a writer this semester? What are you most proud of? What would you still like to learn? Anticipate future writing experiences based on what you learned. What practices will you take with you into future English classes? Into other college classes? Into the workplace? Essay Structure: While your essay will, of course, involve your own opinions, experiences, values, and background, you still must convincingly express your ideas in a well-organized essay with a clear introduction paragraph (ending with a thesis statement), three body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph. Also, be sure that your supporting evidence is logically arranged, relevant to your underlying thesis statement, and detailed enough to satisfy the essay’s length requirement. Do not conduct any additional research to complete this assignment.  Grading: Overall, I’m looking at organization, development, and grammar. Be sure to write five paragraphs. Be sure to write enough and provide specific supporting details. Be sure to proofread for run-ons, comma splices, and fragments.
