English 1010 Course Reflection

Kate Luna reflects on the writing process and assignments in her English 1010 course. She completed three major assignments: a flash narrative using all five senses, a rhetorical analysis comparing two articles, and a portrait of her writing life. The rhetorical analysis was the most challenging as she initially just summarized the articles instead of analyzing why the authors wrote what they did. Through feedback and a second chance, she gained a better understanding of rhetorical analysis. The reflection on her writing life made her consider how her writing has developed from high school to college.

Course Reflection

The main takeaway that I am taking from this course is the writing process. I

never really thought of it or paid any attention to it until I took this class. Before I would

submit my papers, I would read through them 2-3 times after I made some changes to

make sure it’s exactly how I want it to sound and to make sure it makes sense. I would

also have my sister read it and give me feedback and I would edit my paper again

according to what she said. I only had 3 major assignments in this course. The first one

was a flash narrative, the second one was a rhetorical analysis, and the third one was a

portrait of my writing life.

The flash narrative assignment was one of the easiest assignments. All I had to

do was either make up a story, write about something random, or write a story about my

life. No matter what I chose to do my story had to have all of the 5 senses. I needed to

have detailed descriptions so that when the reader (my professor) would read it, they

can feel or picture one of the senses.

The rhetorical analysis was a bit tricky for me. I had to read 2 articles and

compare them. As I was doing it, I had trouble figuring out what to write. This was an

academic paper, which meant that you had to make connections between both articles

and figure out ​why​ the authors wrote what they wrote. I just summarized what both

articles said the first time I turned it in. After my professor graded them, he said that he

would give us a second chance to redo them for extra points. I then realized what I had

to do and I got a better understanding of what a rhetorical analysis is .

The portrait of my writing life was just a reflection of myself as a writer. I had to

write about what I learned in this class, how I view myself as a writer, what techniques

do I use, etc. As soon as I started writing I did not stop. Everything was coming to me so

quickly that I knew what to write and I knew how I wanted it to sound. This assignment

really made me look back on my writing years in high school and how I need to elevate

my writing now that I am in college.
