Unit 8 DB: Reflecting on Writing (ENG110)

We have done a lot of writing in this class! You have crafted a personal essay, worked on a paragraph response to an article, created your own pro/con of an issue, and finally drafted an argument essay. Now, you will reflect a bit on the whole process and how you think you will use writing in the future.
In the introduction discussion from Unit 1, you were asked about your feelings regarding writing coming into the class. Let’s review how you feel now about your progress with writing this term.

Initial Response:
In your initial post, answer these questions:

• How have those feelings changed or evolved as you complete this course?
• How do you think writing will be used in your major and in your career?
• Finally, what questions about writing do you still have?
