Self-Assessment Reflection for Joining the Conversation


 

1.       My goals for writing this paper were to turn this paper into a form of a dialogue. Include a cast of characters and myself as well. I wanted to involve myself as a teacher giving a meeting to the principals on why creativity is important. I think I pretty much reached my goals, but working on my introduction with the characters can use a little work. Maybe after workshop it will become better

 

2.       I used my time with developing this dialogue by running through all my annotated bibliography that I said I was going to use to show arguments. I underlined any useful information that could be possible for me to use. I went back and then turned the arguments into main sources with viewpoints. I used class time and Mrs. Keaton’s blog post she keeps herself to say what we did in class, because I went back and really thought everything out the way she said to do.

 

3.       I really didn’t see my writing change with this dialogue yet, because I fully didn’t get the meaning if I’m doing this the right way or not yet. We didn’t do peer revision for this one yet because it was our first draft >? But when we do get in out blog groups for workshop I take every advantage of advice I get to make corrections.

 

4.       No one contributed to my Rogerian dialogue yet because I didn’t have any revisions done besides the ones I tried to pick up on. I am going to print out my paper at school tomorrow and fix, take away, add any mistakes I see with fresh eyes.

 

5.       I have learned about myself as a writer that I try to express my ideas to quickly that I don’t get my meaning out to the reader in the correct way. The way I talk reflects the way I write. I text and talk with A LOT of slang which really hurts me when it comes down to a paper and writing. I have learned from others that our minds all think differently, so the way we hear and write something’s may look or sound fine to someone else, everyone has a different tone to their writing from their own personality, which I think has effects on writing some positive and some negative.

 

6.       I think the hardest part of writing this dialogue is to actually write this into a form of a play, because I never done this before and I’m not really good at it, which makes this assignment really difficult. I think the easiest part of writing this dialogue was actually finding points that are two arguments from my sources.  Putting me as a character was really easy to because I knew what I wanted to say and how to say it.

 

7.       I think I’m the most proud of my introduction. I think this because I really explained BOTH sides this time the way I have been trying to do the whole time.  I really tried to set a set for the reader to feel most comfortable with, which I think I hit on the nail.

 

8.       I think my dialogue needs most improvement with my characters and setting, of where the characters are in like a real play. I really need to focus my characters and their arguments in the paly. I tried to add some more descript words in the beginning to introduce the setting of me being a teacher with my characters as two principals who need to take creativity into consideration. But I feel like I just kept making the introduction longer.

 

9.       I have used my annotated bibliography as a brainstorming piece for my Rogerian dialogue. I underlined any information that was going to be useful in each of my sources. In class I would write down any things that came to mind for this writing assignment. I came up with ideas and a setting that I wanted my dialogue to take place in. I think I need more work done on this but it’s my first draft, I want to be wright before wrong.
