Today you received back your portfolios from this year. Here were the guiding questions for your reflective writing:
1. Which piece of writing are you most proud of this year? Why?
2. In looking at these artifacts, think about your writing process and confidence. Have they changed over the course of this year? Do you think your writing or writing process have improved? What is your evidence for such changes? Have you developed a reliable approach to writing that helps you generate something good?
3. Reread your "Value of Literature" essay. Do you still agree with yourself? What new or different value do you see in reading literature?
4. Consider the texts we read this year for this class. Which of these did you enjoy? Why? Which didn't you enjoy? Why? What were the major themes or big ideas you will take with you?
