Requirements for Revision and Reflection Essay
Even professional writers constantly strive to improve their work. As beginning college students, you should endeavor to learn as much about your own writing as possible. Your expertise with writing will affect everything from your college classes to your job applications to your entire career. This assignment will help you in this process.
To complete your exam, you need to:
a) revise Essay 2
b) write a Reflection Essay explaining the decisions you made to successfully revise your work. You might also want to include an explanation of the things that went well in your original essay and your overall growth as a writer this semester. Do your best to show what you have learned about writing this semester. (If you are a multilingual student, you may want to include an explanation of transfer problems from another language.)
c) the morning of the final exam, submit your originally graded essay or a photocopy of it, your revision with new material indicated through “track changes” or highlighted, and your Reflection Essay.
If you’ve made so many changes that your new essay is hard to read, you may want to include a clean copy of your revised essay.
Tips on Final Exam:
1. To show as much progress as possible, revise the essay with the most serious problems.
2. To complete your revision, carefully consider your instructor’s comments on your originally graded essay and make changes accordingly. Also consider your peers’ comments. Scrutinize your essay to find other areas to analyze and rework.
3. Note that your Reflection Essay needs to have an intro (with a thesis and forecast), organized PIE paragraphs, and a conclusion. It needs to be edited. It needs an appropriate title.
4. Your Reflection Essay should cover various aspects of writing. Your teacher may give you a specific list, but your essay should include an analysis of several
a) your intros (old and new), including your thesis/forecast
b) your organization, including topic sentences
c) the development of body paragraphs, including your use of proof
d) new points you added to enhance your essay
e) your use of language: tone/style/voice/word choice
f) nuts and bolts: mechanics/grammar (including punctuation)
g) your conclusions
h) your overall writing process
5. You need to write detailed PIE paragraphs that thoroughly explain specific changes you made to your old material to create newer, more effective material. You should quote brief passages from your essays. For example:
When writing my first essay, my thesis was weak and uninteresting: “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” The idea wasn’t even original! This started me off on the wrong foot because….. My revised thesis is “When we judge people by their appearances, we often fall into a trap. Instead we need to consider appearance along with all other factors. We see this through Molly’s relationships with the car salesman who sincerely loves her, the bar bouncer who takes advantage of her, the jewelry story manager who tricks her, and the handsome thief who sends her to prison.” This thesis is more effective because……
6. To analyze your language, look at specific sentences. In particular, look for patterns. For example, you might write something like:
When I started English course, I was unaware that I needed to place a comma after a long introductory clause (Hacker 32a). For example, I wrote: “Even though Molly knew it was a mistake she decided to go on a road trip with the handsome thief.” Because I omitted that comma, my peers got confused when they started reading the sentence. What’s worse, I made the same mistake fourteen times on the first page of my essay!
7. Demonstrate your writing voice and personal style. If appropriate, add humor. For example, “My Writing and Other Disasters” is a better title than “My Progress This Semester.”
8. To be convincing, your Reflection Essay needs to be 4 pages. Your instructor may give you a more specific length.
