Writing Workshop
Tue, Nov 22
Self-reflections are, or should be, hard work. Sometimes this genre gets a bad rap for being "fluff" writing. After all, if a piece of writing is about your experiences, how could there be standards governing whether it's "good"?That logic may hold true if you're writing a diary. But if you're writing a public-facing self-reflection — say, a cover letter, an annual performance report, or an end-of-semester review — you'll want to articulate your experiences in ways that resonate with your audiences' interests and expectations. We'll spend today's writing workshop discussing those generic (as in, "related to genre") expectations. We'll also talk through the logistics of your other end-of-semester assignments.
Learning goals - By the end of this session you will:
- Know strategies for writing self-reflections (and also cover letters) that include evidence-based claims
- Know our expectations for the final lesson plan and self-reflection assignments
- Understand what will happen during Don Rags
- Familiarize yourself with techniques for writing concisely and clearly
Do This:
- Begin work on Dialogues II. Review the prompt on the Assignments page. Then access the template for Dialogues II: Self-reflection (also on the Assignments page).
