Reflection: Prep for Final

Directions: in 200 words or less, describe one aspect of the semester (the blogs, the quizzes, group exercises, pre-writing, writing a particular paper, etc.) that helped you the most in understanding how to write better compositions. Your most significant moment during the semester could be as simple as what you learned from speaking to one of your classmates or to the professor. You will use this blog as a jumping off point for the final. You can print out and bring your blog response with you to class on the day of the final. The blog response is due before class on May 8th, and is worth 10 points.

Research Questions

Directions: List one or two possible essays that were interesting enough to generate questions about their meaning or the events surrounding the creation of the text. List three questions that you have about the essay(s). Remember, if you choose the "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," and you also choose to use the original letter from the eight clergymen in your research paper, you will still need two additional sources to support the potential answers to your questions. You will also need to read and inquire into the full letter under Unit VI, rather than using the truncated Unit III essay. Post Due before class on Thursday, April 10th.

Reply: No reply necessary, but read the questions of your fellow classmates if you find yourself at a loss for questions to ask the text(s) you chose.
