Reflection+Directions

The purpose of your reflection writing is two fold. The first step is to think about your own, personal writing process and your writing experiences. You should think about the following items:
-Describe the overall experience writing your paper. What was it like? Where/when did you start? How did you move through the process of writing from pre-writing to rough draft to final product?

-How did you literally go about writing this paper? Did you use a computer or hand write it? Did you listen to music while you wrote it? Did you do some preliminary research and then start writing or vice versa? Do you write in Starbucks or your dorm room?

-What challenges did you face during this writing project and how did you over come them? What came easily to you? Where did you spend the most time? What was the most difficult thing to write in the paper?

**The second part is offering advice to your contemporaries who are also working on similar writing projects. In your reflection, you should also:**
-Offer advice about where you think students will need help with this type of writing.

-Did you use any good websites, resources, etc for writing this paper that your colleagues might also find useful?

-If someone is having trouble getting started on this paper, what advice might you give him/her for that?

-Any other tips or words of wisdom you think will help this person.
