Reflection on Open Letter Draft

The time has finally arrived. For my final blog post I have reflected on my open letter draft as well as included links to the drafts that I peer reviewed.

For the last peer review I conducted in this course, I looked over the drafts of Andrea and Evan.

Did you demonstrate an ability to think about your writing and yourself as a writer?

• After looking over my draft again I believe that I gave a lot of insight into what I think about myself as a writer and my abillity to write. Some topics certainly received more focus than others, like my writing process, while others were barely discussed. I haven't really demonstrated my ability to deal with time management and how this course has impacted me for in the future.

Did you provide analysis of your experiences, writing assignments, or concepts you have learned?

• In my opinion I believe that I provided an adequate analysis of my experiences, writing assignments, and concepts that I have learned. I could have done a better job at transitioning throughout my topics and discussing more about what I will take away from this class in my future careers.

Did you provide concrete examples from your own writing (either quotes from your writing or rich descriptions of your writing process)?

• The presence of concrete examples varied throughout my draft. In some paragraphs I provided excellent examples that really showed my audience what I was trying to explain about my writing process. In other paragraphs, as pointed out by my peers, the hyperlinks I provided didn't seem to be connected and direct quotes would have been more effective.

Did you explain why you made certain choices and whether those choices were effective?

• I explained why I made certain choices, like deciding to post my blogs later in the week, but I failed to explain whether the choices I made were effective. I only skimmed the surface of certain topics and will need to go back and analyze them more in-depth.

Did you use specific terms and concepts related to writing and the writing process?

• Many concepts related to writing and the writing process were used in my draft. I made sure to hit as many elements of the writing process as possible, ranging from the concept of genre to the peer review process and publishing the final draft. The only concept not really discussed was the role that time management plays into the writing process.
