For this assignment, you are being
asked to write a process analysis of how your writing has changed during
this course. The goal is to discover something about yourself as a
writer and thinker. Along with the process analysis, you will need to
embed relevant examples that highlight your process in writing an essay
and evaluating, workshopping, editing, and revising that same essay.
These examples must be included in the paragraphs in your essay, not
attached as an appendix. Remember, the focus here is on the process and
not the product. Consider your strengths and weaknesses as a writer when
you began English 1A. Think about what you learned over the semester
and what skills you will use in future coursework and beyond.
