Prompt for Self Reflection

Hi all:

So here is what I want you to consider when writing your self reflection:

- The novels/poetry/plays you enjoyed, as well as the ones you didn't like AND WHY!
- The areas of improvement you have made this year (analytical writing, text analysis, creative writing, critical reading). Do you feel more confident in your reading/analysis/discussion of works of literature.
- The areas that you still need to develop further.
- The personal journey YOU have taken as a writer in English 11 this year. Ask yourself *honestly* whether you are motivated by the product of writing or by the process of writing? Has this position changed over the year?
- Recommendations/improvements for teaching English 11 in the future!

Good luck - please be as honest and forthright as possible. Don't write what you think I want to hear. Be yourselves!

Thank you for a wonderful year - I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience of teaching you all and hope to have the opportunity to assist you further in your educational adventures!

Best,

Mr. T-S
