Learning Outcomes

By the end of this section, you will be able to:

  • Reflect in writing on the development of composing processes.
  • Explain how those processes affect your work.

As you prepare to place this chapter’s writing task in your portfolio, reflect on your review by answering the following questions.

  • On what basis did you choose your topic? Did you choose it because of a long-standing interest in films, TV, books, or video games or because of something else?
  • Did your evaluation and thesis seem obvious from the beginning, or did you have to think for a long time before settling on them?
  • What made this topic personally appealing?
  • What was easy about composing your essay? What was hard?
  • What would you do differently if you could start over again?
  • In what ways did you revise your essay between the first and final drafts?
  • How did you get ideas for revision? Was it from peer feedback, your instructor, or a tutor?
