The Final Reflection, Spring 2006

The final reflection (due Friday, April 7, 2006) is a self-reflection/learning analysis of at least 5 pages in which you use your experiences inside and outside the classroom to identify the most important things you learned about the major and about yourself in ENGL 106. It may help to consider the following questions as you brainstorm for the essay: How has your perspective on the English major at SUNY Fredonia changed since the course began? What are your personal goals for the rest of your time in the major? What do you see now as the key value(s) of being an English major? What specifically in the work you did for the course contributed most to the process that connects 'then' and 'now'? You are encouraged to use one of the performances you attended, one of the works you read, or one of the presentations from the Mary Louise White Symposium to help you structure your essay, but anything you do to organize this and keep it from being simply random-stream-of-consciousness will be rewarded!

Your final reflection will be evaluated by the following criteria (in order of importance): development of ideas, including relevance and specificity of connections drawn between ideas and course materials/activities; organization; structure/organization; sentence-level writing; formatting (including correct use of MLA format and set-up of bibliography).
