: Describe what you learned about writing this semester. I would suggest that you don’t begin with grand statements but rather focus on specific kinds of assignments you were tasked with: 

  • reading 3 books by good writers to analyze their moves
  • reading a variety of other short texts by good writers to analyze their moves
  • writing informally in JEs where you have to use writing to think about the assigned readings.
  • class time (various presentations and question/answer designed to get us to pay attention to various ways that authors shape their work)
  • the formal writing projects (2 WPs) which have you develop a project through all the stages of invention, arrangement, drafting and revision.
