Description
This final reflection should be at least 5 full, double-spaced pages. Please, support ALL claims with examples. Your final reflection should detail what you have learned and how you learned it throughout the semester. Specifically, I want you to revisit the claims you made in your first Learning Narrative by putting those learning experiences into context with the learning experiences you have had this semester. The resulting Reflective Learning Narrative will be informed by all of the EVIDENCE we have generated and collected throughout the semester. Your proposals, drafts, revision statements, and previous reflections should give you ample information to make detailed and relevant observations about your work throughout the semester; however, please, do not cut and paste from those unless you do so in order to make further commentary on things you have noticed earlier in the semester.
Here are specific guidelines for your final reflections:
- At least 5 full, double-spaced pages
- Four main sections:
- What I hoped to learn/do (What were my expectations, what were my original plans, what skills did I hope to develop?)
- What I did (What I wrote/made, what steps I took to complete the tasks, what went very right, what went very wrong?)
- What I learned (What I'd do differently next time, what I can't wait to do again, what I'll never do again, what feedback was particularly useful?)
- Goals for my writing (What skills I want to develop, What habits I want to change or adopt, What information I need to learn, What types of writing I want to try--AND, by what means will I attempt to realize these goals?) In other words, what is my plan (goals + means) for my continuing writing development?
It is up to you how much of each section is devoted to which portion of the reflection.
- I want to read about challenges and/or failures: how you met them and/or worked around them.
- I want to read about surprises, good and not so good.
- I want to read about rewards and disappointments.
- I want to read about processes (what you did) and products (what you made).
- I want to read about what YOU thought of your writing products and what OTHERS said about your writing products--both projects and supporting materials.
- I want to read about future projects, possibilities, and applications. I want to read about the strengths of your work & your goals for your work (make specific references—that is, detail specific examples—both to your composing efforts—actions—and elements of the texts themselves).

Final Reflection on My Writing Course
Project #1: The Most Important Lessons I learned as a College Student
Having an option to live is a learning experience just like writing is a continuous
learning process. Just like life presents different lessons every other day, so does writing. As
learners learn new writing tactics daily, each day presents different challenges. With time, I
have become mature and responsible for my writing.
What I hoped to learn/do
In the project “The Most Important Lessons I learned as a College Student”, I expected
to learn about structuring plots and developing characters in writing. I wanted to become a
competent writer at once, even though I realized later that learning is a process that requires
patience. I also hoped to develop quick proofreading skills. Just like I stated in my essay that
I never thought I would attend a University, the opposite came true later in my life. In this
project, I learned about the virtue of patience.
What I did for this Project
In the project on the most important lessons learned, I incorporated the basic elements
of Gustav Freytag’s pyramid in my writing and attempted to introduce the exposition,
problem, rising action, the climax, falling action, and the resolution. A case in example is
when I wrote about my second year in college. I lost my grandfather and this affected me to
my grades. Life became meaningless. I only picked myself up after a friend introduced me to
a counseling group. Later on, I concentrated more on my studies. What went very wrong in
this project was the lack of editing. I learned its importance the hard way from low grades.
What was right for me was a logical and effective organization of my work, as I presented
each idea in a different paragraph.
FINAL REFLECTION
What I Learned
Evaluating the most important lessons learned helps in determining progress. I learned
that my writing can inspire other people to believe in the power of optimism. Since I was
optimistic in my essay, I attained what I thought I could never achieve before. Everything I
lay my hands on succeeded, starting from relationships, academics, and sporting activities. I
plan to write more inspiring stories for my readers in the future.
Goals for my writing this project
Setting up learning goals enhances student’s accountability. The goal of my writing
project is to develop inspirational skills. I want to develop inspirational skills in my writing
so I can inspire young generations in the future. I can achieve this through constant practice
and observing criticism. Gaining confidence and planning my work can also do the trick.

Project #2: Cultural Artefact Analysis
Objects surround every person. We use some of them every day yet; we do not attach a
deeper meaning to them. However, there are other objects that people adore because they
attach them with some importance. This research project will discuss the purple clay teapot
tea as a cultural artifact.
What I hoped to learn/do
I hoped to learn about making a good plan before beginning the writing process from
my Cultural Artefact Analysis class. It would provide me with a step to step guidance for my
work. Any writing about culture needs effective structuring of ideas. However, this was not
the case for me. I realized that I had mixed ideas all over my work, making it boring for the
reader. With time, I gained confidence in planning my writing. Some of the skills I hoped to
develop included reflection, analytical skills, and expressing competence in other writing
assignments.
What I did
In my efforts of becoming a competent writer, I analyzed the purple clay teapot as a
cultural artifact before writing about it. I reflected on taking the stance of a cultural insider of
my community. My role was explaining about my cultural group and how it embraces the
purple clay teapot to an outsider. I hoped to enlighten my reader about the accompanying
story of my chosen artifact. Besides, before I commenced writ...
