Your reflection should be 2- to 3-pages double spaced (must be at least two full pages). Use the following prompts to guide you.

Think about the rhetorical choices you’ve made this semester and that you know you’ll make in future writing situations:

  • What is most important to consider in understanding the audience(s) when you’re writing, and what influence does the audience have on the choice of genre (or genre on the choice of audience)? Are genre and audience equally important? Are they always intertwined or can one be considered without the other? Which of these two concepts is most important for a writer to understand?
  • What do you think is most important to know about the rhetorical situation?
  • What did you learn from creating the three genre samples in Project 3? What was most challenging thing to know about when creating them? What do you know now that you would do differently if you had more time and the benefit of hindsight to create those three genre samples again?
  • What can you theorize is most important to know about writing? If you were telling someone what successful writing requires and what you need to know as a writer in order to be successful, what would you say? How would you articulate the success you’ve had and what it requires, based on your knowledge of writing concepts?
  • How did reflection and critical thinking help you determine the rhetorical choices you made for writing in this course? What do you think makes reflection an effective tool for a writer?
  • Explain how you think you’ll use reflection in your future writing.
  • Which knowledge about writing from this class do you think you’ll be able to adapt to other writing contexts?
