Description
An outline for your E4 reflection essay. 150 words minimum (This is what I need – The rest is an idea of what it should include) This is the only class I’m taking this semester, and I plan on becoming a Rental property owner. I play Hockey, ride Motorcycles, and own a Blog about Video game content. Your last essay for this class is a 500-700-word Self-evaluation. These are just like a regular evaluation, except you are the topic! Specifically, your Self-evaluation should address how you did this semester – how your academic practices improved, how your understanding of concepts or skills increased, how you learned from mistakes, and how you have prepared yourself for future classes and careers. In this lesson, you will submit a brief outline. There is no word count requirement, and this outline does not need to be in MLA formatting. Your final submission in Lesson 16 should employ all the writing and formatting that you have learned over the semester. It must be MLA-formatted and well-organized with a central thesis, driven by support for that thesis. Do not use outside sources, just your own experience. First person should be used throughout (because you are the topic!). Effective Self-evaluation: Include specific, quantifiable results. Avoid lists, bullet points, or reliance on only grades. Incorporate feedback that you have received, and how you used, incorporated, responded to, and benefited from that feedback. Showcase what makes you unique, and how you differentiate yourself from others. Include 2-3 areas for continued growth – meaning things you should and will continue to work on and improve. These can be skills, experiences, or academic practices (like time management). My Advice: Compare your first writing assignment in this class to your most recent. Think about what has changed. Think about specific moments and experiences. Remember that narrative, specifics, and details are the most compelling. Be honest with yourself. What should you have done that you didn’t? Don’t be afraid to brag – a little. Where did you really excel – where did hard work really pay off? Think about how the skills you’ve been building in this class will benefit your future. Don’t forget the writing process! Start with a thesis, organize a multi-paragraph essay that supports that thesis, plan the essay and gather evidence, write a draft, take a break, revise and edit, get feedback from someone, and come back to polish the final draft. Check details and formatting.
