Reflective Journal

Now that you have completed your Informative Essay, reflect back on this process, how it went, what you’ve learned from it, and what you might do differently the next time. Write a brief reflection journal in which you address the following questions (from The Writer’s Way, p. P-6):

1.  What just happened? (What did I/we do?)

2.  What was the purpose of doing this activity? (Why did I/we do it?)

3.  What did the reading in the textbook say about this activity? [For this question, identify one concept, idea, or instruction from the textbook that struck you as interesting or significant.]

4.  What was the point of this reading?

5.  How can I use this activity or information going forward?
