Overarching themes in the development of my writing over the semester.
Artifact 1: Initial Self-Assessment
The first assignment of the year, describing our goals for the course. Frames following artifacts.
A paper I wrote in a class on Vergil, spring of my freshman year. Illustrates the pre-WR 100 status of my writing.
First essay of WR 100; introduction is improved but paragraph structure is still disorganized.
Draft of the course's second essay, showing similar problems as the final of the first essay.
Final draft of second essay, with improved paragraph specificity and structure.
Artifact 6: Reading Student Papers
A short writing assignment analyzing the writing of a previous student in the class; shows my ability to critique student writing.
Artifact 7: Satrapi/Hamid Draft 2
A step backwards — even my second draft shares a lot of problems with earlier papers
Artifact 8: Satrapi/Hamid Final
A nearly-identical revision process produced great improvement in paragraph organization.
