Magazine Reflection Take Two!

Look through your drafts of your article. Look at the revisions and edits that you and your editing group made. Look at the various PDF's of your layout. Look how your writing changed over time.

Think about the following things that we worked on in this project:

* Structuring writing (the loop; into, through & beyond)

* Intros

* Conclusions (or outro's)

* Incorporating evidence

* Sentence structure

* How to use nouns and verbs effectively (where in the sentence, what types, -ing's, etc.)

* Making your writing a concert, not a pancakes.

* Avoiding sledgehammer words

* Writing about more than the specific topic at hand (how to get deep)

* Using various types of evidence

* Copyediting

* I think there's more--what did I forget???

1. Overall, when you think about the big picture of your writing, what improved? How did it get better? Why?

2. Overall, when you think about the big picture of your writing, what still needs work? What do you think will help you improve? Why?

3. Specifically, show us something that improved and describe the path it took to get better. You can quote your article, your drafts, link to evidence, etc.

4. Describe something specific (or a few things!) that you learned about writing.

This is due at the end of the day on Wednesday 5/27!
