Midterm Reflective Essay

Alison reflects on the various writing assignments she has completed in her class over the first half of the semester. She discusses struggling with invention work for her literacy narrative but enjoyed the peer review process. She found creating an altered book literacy narrative fun and creative. While a genre analysis was short, Alison did not find it very interesting. She believes a found genre assignment creating a resume was the most useful as it will help with her future job applications. Overall, Alison sees room for improvement but hopes to get more comfortable with the writing process and show advancement by the end of the semester.

Midterm Reflective Essay
Dear Robert,
Throughout the first half of this semester, Ive written a variety of writing assignments.
The writing assignments that were included was a literacy narrative, genre analysis, found genre,
and creating an altered book literacy narrative. While reading this reflective essay, you will learn
about the frustrations Ive had but also the successes. Some assignments were easier to get
started while others had several works of writing within the assignment. Each assignment had its
own difficulties but none of them were impossible to complete.
The first major writing assignment the class had to complete was the literacy narrative.
The literacy narrative assignment included a reflection letter, invention work, drafts, peer review,
and the final version. For me, I believe this assignment had the most work to complete and it also
seemed to be the most difficult as well. For the invention work, I free wrote and looped. The only
thing that struggled for me with this work was the fact that my hand started to cramp after 20
seconds of writing. However, I was able to take a few sentences from my invention work and
include it in the final version. Writing the drafts were difficult for me because when writing a
paper I usually just start writing the final and then change a few mistakes if needed. I typically
don't like the full out writing process. I did enjoy the peer reviews because I was able to get
someone elses point of view with my drafts.
The second writing assignment was the altered book literacy narrative. Creating this
assignment was lots of fun for me. I love anything having to do with art or creativity so
completing this assignment was relatively easy. I didnt mind writing a contrast/comparison

reflection for this assignment because it was short and sweet. After completing the altered book
literacy narrative, I knew that I was quit literate with that kind of writing assignment.
The third writing assignment was the genre analysis. This assignment was kind of boring
to me but that is just my personal opinion. The writing and research we had to do was very short
but I didnt find anything that interesting out of this assignment. Finally, the last writing
assignment was a found genre. For the found genre, I decided to create a resume for when I
apply for a job as a certified nursing assistant (CNA). I believe this assignment was the most
affective for me in the long run because it helped me learn about how to create the perfect
resume. Having an outstanding and strong resume could help me with having a job in the future.
Overall I haven't seen that much improvement from the first writing assignment to the
last one. I can tell that my writing strengths are with writing alternative writing assignments
rather than the typical 5 page research essay assignments. However, I do hope to see
improvements when I compare these assignments to writing assignments I have written near the
end of this semester. I also hope to become more comfortable with the writing process. Im
excited to see my improvement of writing throughout the rest of the semester.
Sincerely,
Alison DeChambeau
