Reflection on Open Letter Draft

In this blog post I will reflect on my draft for project 4 and the general peer review process. I will also answer questions provided by the Student's Guide in order to reflect on drafting and how I plan to revise my open letter.

I reviewed Sam's and Evan's drafts. Evan has made his rough draft into his final, so I've just provided the link to that.

Did you demonstrate an ability to think about your writing and yourself as a writer?

• I believe I demonstrated an ability to think about my writing and myself as a writer. I reflected on many aspects of my writing style, such as my style of heavy revising. Another aspect I touched on was my issues with procrastinations. This is key part of who I am as a writer, so writing about this really demonstrated my ability to think about my writing and who I am as a writer.

Did you provide analysis of your experiences, writing assignments, or concepts you have learned?

• I have not provided much analysis on my experiences, writing assignments, or concepts I have learned in my draft. This portion is largely lacking and I need to address it in my final  draft. I plan on adding a lot of analaysis about how I handled each project and why my writing style suited or did not suit each of them.

Did you provide concrete examples from your own writing (either quotes from your writing or rich descriptions of your writing process)?

• I did provide concrete examples from my own writing. I had a few quotes from past blog posts. I may go back into my final projects and see if I can add quotes from them to add to this portion of my letter.

Did you explain why you made certain choices and whether those choices were effective?

• I did not explain why I mader certain choices very thoroughly. This is another aspect of my letter that I need to address and revise. Perhaps I will talk about why the approaches I took to writing each of the projects was either effective or ineffective.

Did you use specific terms and concepts related to writing and the writing process?

• I used some specific terms and concepts related to writing and the writing process. One examples is when I identified myself as a "heavy reviser". This term came straight from the given readings we read early on in the semester.
