Semester 1 Reflections

• As you reflect back on the past few months in this class (call them semester 1), what are some thoughts, accomplishments, regrets, trials and tribulations you encountered? 
• Did you achieve your goal(s) this semester? Why or why not? Present your evidence. 
• What are your final thoughts as you wrap up this period of your education and your life and what are some goals/plans you would like to set for the next one? 

Think, jot downs notes/evidence,  then make a (super)claim and perhaps some (sub)claims and defend using evidence and reasoning. Your  successful reflections must:

• Demonstrate a conscious and thorough understanding of the writing prompt and the subject matter. It is well organized (intro, body, conclusion) and can be used as an example for other students.
• Use specific and convincing examples from to support claims in your own writing, making insightful and applicable connections to our unit of studies and our standards and skills.  
• Use stylistically sophisticated language that is precise and engaging, with notable sense of voice, awareness of audience and purpose, and varied sentence structure. 
• Demonstrate control of the conventions with essentially no errors, even with sophisticated language. 

Due Date: On or before the day of your final exam….
