Overall Reflection
The goal of this portfolio is to represent all the major assignments I have completed
during this spring semester. All of my work used for these assignments is included
as well so the readers can follow how I completed each assignment. The order in
which these assignments are read does not matter because as long as the readers
are able to read over all the reflections first then they can choose the order in which
they can review my work. By exploring what looks interesting to the readers instead
of having a specific order the viewers are more likely to pay attention because
assignments including throughout the project. The use of rhetorical knowledge can
be seen within the genre project with the rhetorical decisions assignment that tells
who the inquiry project would benefit. Critical reading can also be seen in the
annotated bibliography project with the double entry journal assignment because it
seen in the genre project as well because it shows all the background information
needed to create the project. The use of knowledge of convention in the scene in
most of the major assignments with my drafts of the assignments compared to the
changes made in the finish copies. Finally, critical reflections can also be seen in all
my major assignments where I have reflected on my work after peer reviews and
critiques.
Over this semester, the main three habits of the mind that I have practiced have
participating in class activities and an out of class. I also used creativity to help me
with animals and I lost all my assignments. I practiced flexibility along with
creativity in order to incorporate the common idea of helping animals in the most
assignments in a way that will follow the requirements for the projects.
Moving forward I learned how to free right and how that has help me to become a
better writer for all my other assignments in class. What I would do differently next
time however would be working harder to get all my assignments turned in on time.
What I would do the same though would be choosing the same topic I chose to use
for all my assignments because they're all focused on Nadia I am passionate about
so that meant was more enjoyable writing for these assignments. What I know
about myself now that I did not know before taking this course would be how I can
improve my writing from practicing for ten minutes every day to free write as a way
to express my writing skills without being critical about my own writing style and
choices.
