Today's Goals:

Learning Outcomes​

• Identify how their views of writing have changed as a result of the work they have done in the course

• Explain what you have learned from being a novice in new writing situations, and describe how these experiences, which might include failure, contribute to your willingness to accept new challenges as a writer.

• Evaluate the ways in which you have become a more reflective (mindful, self-aware, thoughtful) writer.

Habits of Mind

• Responsibility is fostered when writers are encouraged to recognize their own role in learning.

• Metacognition is fostered when writers are encouraged to reflect on the texts that they have produced in a variety of contexts.

Key Terms

• Composing Processes: planning, researching, drafting, sharing and responding, revising, editing, publishing, reflecting

• Reflection, metacognition, transfer/expansion

​

Warm Up

Pick a student learning outcome from the Course Information page/syllabus. Use writing to compile a list of all activities that we have done in our class or through homework that have in some way contributed to the fulfillment or achievement of that learning outcome. You may also include activities for the learning community as a whole (Seminar and History, as well as Writing and Rhetoric).
