You’ll complete this assignment at the end of Week 4, October 9, 6:00 p.m. Central Standard (Minnesota) Time.
Introduction:
Now that you’ve received your grade and feedback for Essay 1, it’s time to think concretely about how to approach your next major assignment. To do this, you’ll first look back on your process for writing the essay–what worked well for you and what didn’t. Then, you’ll take what you learned from the last assignment and use it to create an overall plan for writing Essay 2.
Assignment:
Reflect on the process of writing your first major essay in this class, and consider how you’ll apply the lessons you learned in that process to your next major assignment in this course.
Respond to the following items with at least one meaty paragraph (roughly 75-150 words) each:
1) How well did you predict your writing process? Did you have enough time to complete each step of the assignment to your satisfaction?
